[quote=Anonymous]My parents think my husband is the greatest thing since sliced bread and his parents love me, maybe for me, but maybe also because their daughters spouses aren’t that great.

My mom is critical because that’s just how she is and how she relates to the world and makes small talk. She’s a complainer and perpetual victim. That helps me take her complaints with a grain of salt. However if I ever find something she is picking on me about is really bugging me, it’s likely because there is a kernel of truth that I am not ready to hear.

Do they pick on or dislike your siblings’ spouses? Complain about your cousins? Express disappointment in their friends’ and neighbors’ adult children’s choices? If so, it’s their issue and you have to find a way to let it go.

If they just do it with your husband, do you have a sibling, cousin or friend you could ask about it? My in-laws will never tell my SIL that they don’t like her husband - but we hear ALL about him and his failings. [/quote]
