[quote=Anonymous]I, too, fall in the camp of refusing to give MIL the attention and responses she craves. She brings out the worst in me. Minor examples: she says how she needs to get a colonoscopy and clears wants us to worry about her and feel sorry for her- I instead respond by telling her it is no big deal and I get one per year. Or she gushes about how smart and what voracious readers her grandchildren (my kids) are - instead of confirming her rosy view I tell her flatly that her grandkids are middle of the pack in reading in their classes. There is so much history with her that I feel justified in all of this, but I also realize how petty I act around her. [/quote]
