[quote=Anonymous]OP, don’t respond with snark. Realize that the likely source of those comments is the common struggle many moms have about trade offs. I recommend responding with empathy and curiosity. This response is easier if you are comfortable with your choices. So your sister makes a snarky comment about being home for her kids after school. Instead of getting defensive, try something like, “that sounds awesome. Tell me more about some of your favorite experiences you’ve had with the kids when you’ve been there,”. Listen. Validate her choices with making yours sound better. Empathize. Listen. [/quote]
