[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP said ask myself why it bothers me. It bothers me because one day my son opens a reasonably sized toy from my mom and happily plays with it. The next day he opens humongous gifts from MIL replete with mini weapons I'm trying to limit. He forgets all about reasonably sized toy without weapons and now wants to be in the military when he grows up and builds toy guns that he gives his sister and they run around the house shooting me. And my mom is afraid to buy my kids anything because they've already have been given entire product lines by MIL. So, for example, if I wanted to raise a pacifistic son, now I've got one that loves weapons. If I wanted to raise intelligent kids that like the outdoors and real food, now I've got ones that sit around watching football or Disney movies and eating junk food, demanding the next latest and greatest toy that winds up in a landfill. I feel like I can't shape and mold my own kids because of other people trying to shape and mold them harder. Here's another weird thing, I didn't take my husband's last name. So, MIL one time was saying we're the ____ family, and then gave us dish towels with the first letter of their last name on it. Coincidence, or is she just scent marking again?[/quote] It bothers you because she is better then you. She loves your children more then you do. You conplain about ridiculous things while she adores and spends quality time with your children. Love your children more then you hate her.[/quote]
