[quote=Anonymous]Agree with PP who said this is very possibly an insecurity thing. Often disapproval/skepticism is actually jealousy or insecurity or discomfort, just wearing a different cloak. DH and I do NOT have a massive house, nor a massive income, but our lives are much more cosmopolitan (and we are more educated, eat different places, have different hobbies, etc. etc.) than any of DH's family, and his mother is OBVIOUSLY uncomfortable when they come to visit and tries to compensate but making ridiculous statements. This may purely be how your MIL compensates for her own issues. We're all jealous sometimes - it's hard to quash. It's sad to me for a woman of my MIL's age to be so unable to cope with her own issues. It is awkward to see her emotional limitations on display like this. She is the most non-self-aware person I have ever met.[/quote]
