[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It makes me sad to see how much people vent on their mothers for relatively small things. Didn’t your moms do enough for you when they raised you? Why do you expect them to keep being selfless to your own family? Don’t you want them to have their own social circle and friends? What is it that you really need them to do for you? Frankly, my kids are teens and I am almost done giving, giving, giving. Breadwinner, social support, moral support, mental load, physical load for 18+ years - when is it time to stop? If a mother hates cooking but does it anyway to ensure their kids have a healthy diet, is she obligated to keep doing this for her grandkids? I don’t think so. The small favors she does for other people aren’t a big deal and maybe those women, who are her community and social support do the same for them and you just aren’t aware? [/quote]

Most people are IDing behaviors their parent did through to it childhood. [/quote]

MIL who gushes over strangers has likely never once encouraged or complimented DH - that is just how MIL is, and will always be. [/quote]
