[quote=Anonymous]My own mom is bitchy like that (MIL is a whole different flavor of crazy, but more or less benign). In her case, it's a lot more complicated than simple jealousy -- I think she feels rejected when we make choices that are different than what she made, and I think that there's a huge part of her that would like to live vicariously through us, so she gets pissed when we do things that she doesn't feel are worth bragging about at the country club. There's some envy, too -- we're a lot more financially stable than my parents were when they were raising kids -- but it's retroactive envy. They're financially just fine now.[/quote]
