[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What worked with my mom was a grey rock approach. Nothing she says affects you. End the call in a happy “I gotta go, let’s talk soon!” if the conversation turns to insults and accusations. Tell her she’s welcome to come visit (on dates when it works for you.)

Expect nothing. Do not engage on social media.

It took my mom about a year to decide to “forgive” me and move on. Embrace your DH’s family and take kindness wherever you can find it. Do not let your mom push you away from people who are showing you kindness. [/quote]

Good advice.

And stop posting anything about family support or not on social media. Or almost anything on social media.

Only post pics of the baby once in a while. It's best if you back away from social media. [/quote]

OP here. Agree that it’s great advice. I’ve not posted anything about family support on my social accounts, just pics of baby and positive updates about any milestones he hits. Her feathers are ruffled because I’ve not posted anything about her being the best mother ever.[/quote]

I’m confused OP. Here you refer to your baby as a “he.” Earlier you said “my daughter.” Which is it?[/quote]
