[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a good friend who like your ILs, OP.  She is constantly overwhelmed by anxiety at never being good enough, which is expressed as the kind of perfectionism you describe.  Spending that much time on appearances is, frankly, exhausting and doesn’t usually make for good company.[/quote]

My relatives like this are constantly stressed out despite having nothing to be stressed about. She is a SAHM with kids launched/in college. Lol. No clue why she is so stressed. Apparently shopping and tennis are very stressful when you add the burden of coordinating your weekly cleaners and planning vacations to unwind from all the stress.

But their kids are thriving. Money and private school really make a difference in teeing up a successful life.

But that’s them, not me. I don’t compare my life to their life. Life isn’t a competition. Just live your life and enjoy what you have. [/quote]

Money and private school and having b the luck to both be from functional families. I am pretty proud of my Type B life and home and kids given the amount of mental illness in both extended families. We may not have a restaurant reservation schedule or an oven schedule but I am really proud I made it through Thanksgiving without getting sucked into family drama. Helped some people mend some fences in the extended family relationship s and no one had a public tantrum\mantrum. So far, so good.[/quote]
