[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] And think about it from her perspective - her value in life, her self-worth was from being a sahm/housekeeper/house-manager, i.e. caregiver of the family. By you emulating her - being the good housekeeper - you actually are serving to keep her own positive view of herself in tact. But when you turn things around - and are still valued and loved by your DH and your kids - you make her feel insecure about her own life, her own legacy. [/quote] I've definitely thought about this...it is a very empathetic perspective. I hope if I ever spiral into needy/insecure/lonely MIL (DS is only 5 now so I have plenty of time) then I hope DIL can manage such a generous perspective.[/quote]
