[quote=Anonymous]OP, you sound super, super defensive. Instead of trying to “convince” your MIL about how hard your life is, how important your job is, etc, stop thinking that everything she says is a judgment of you. And STOP talking about the cost of living with her. It has zero relevance to your relationship. You: We’d love to see you next week. How about Saturday. MIL: can we do Friday? You: sorry, I have a work thing until late MIL: I just feel for you and Larlo - always having to work so hard You: Thanks! Tell me about your weekend plans. Just because she says something in passing, it doesn’t mean she is judging you. And if she is, stop caring and stop thinking that your job is to change her mind. You do your thing, she does hers and change the subject as needed. [/quote]
