[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your MIL sounds annoying.[/quote] Yeah she kind of is. And then she's fine in other ways. She comes off as passive aggressive sometimes and sweet as pie others. I guess a tandem question could be--if you're all heading out somewhere would your MIL help with getting your kids' shoes on? Again, not her job, but when dh asked her to help she said with a laugh "I already did my parenting time, now I get to be grandma" (meaning she doesn't have to help. And she wonders why we don't want to live closer! She really doesn't get it. [/quote] Ok, MIL is right, she doesn't have to help out. But that also means you don't have to go out of your way to host her, to give her time with her kids, or to be a dutiful DIL. Life is generally a series of give and takes -- the more you give, the more is given back to you. She clearly has decided to opt out of the gift exchange...[/quote]
