[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of these responses are ridiculous. OP, I would pull your MIL aside and say "Carrie told me that when you want to take her shopping/buy her new skin products it's because you're embarrassed by the way she looks and want to change her. Obviously we all know that's not true, but we'd really appreciate it if you could just lay off on that for a bit to help her build her confidence."[/quote] This. I don't understand the helplessness and not defending your own child. Just because it's a MIL doesn't mean you shouldn't speak up even if your DH is too cowardly to do it. However. The showering thing. Does your daughter need to shower more? Maybe MIL is just saying it because her hair looks unstyled, IDK. But if she needs to shower more you need to take charge of that one. "Larla, I know it's a pain but now that you are 13 you need to shower every day. It's really important and I am going to remind you."[/quote]
