[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^also I'm probably projecting but I definitely think my MIL judges the amount of help we have. She raised six kids while working full time and I think she doesn't understand why we need so much help. [/quote]

How did she do this with no help? [/quote]

Daycare and the older kids helped the younger ones. Big Italian Catholic family. [b]I'm a SAHM with a full time nanny [/b]and she's so nice to me but I do something wonder if she rolls her eyes at me. [/quote]

Well, yeah.  So am I.  [/quote]

I have a chronic illness and a spouse that works 80 hours a week. This makes our life easier. Sorry that bothers you. [/quote]

Well, you hadn't mentioned that before.  You only said you were a SAHM with a full time nanny.  Based on this exchange, one of the side effects of your chronic illness appears to be that you have the IQ of a turnip.  [/quote]

Lol egg on your face makes you mighty defensive. [b]I have an Ivy degree and two masters [/b]and had to quit working when I ended up in the hospital for the first time. I think this is a good lesson for you in "be kind to everyone because you don't know what they're going through". Why would I divulge health information in a post about my mother in law? Also turnips are delicious so thanks. [/quote]

Of course you do. [snort]

But, to answer your question, you would provide that information because it bears directly on the point you were trying to make.  You said your MIL doesn't understand why you are a SAHM who need a full-time nanny.  The fact that you have a chronic illness bears directly on how people view your situation.

The fact that this needs to be explained to you really proves my earlier point re the turnip.  [/quote]

Actually I think the point is that you should refrain from judging anyone's situation because you will never have the full picture of what they're going through, as in this case. Maybe you're the turnip if you can't understand that. [/quote]
