[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hm. It sounds like she is speaking generally about her personal values. I didn’t see any overt criticism of you in what you posted.

Maybe try not to take everyone’s personal opinions so seriously.

And I say this as someone whose older cousin told her, “I had a breast reduction and it really improved my quality of life. Do you want my doctor’s information?”

That was one of the least offensive things she’s ever said to me, but that’s an example of a passive aggressive offensive opinion sharing.[/quote]

Well, I believe that when she says- over and over- that working moms aren't good moms (when she KNOW I work) she is being more than passive aggressive. No offence, but something like that for most would be a little more inflammatory than the comment you gave as an example. [/quote]

Why does this bother you?

The topic of mothers working or not working is so tired. Just drop the rope and move onto something less charged. Why do you care what other people think?[/quote]

If someone says "working moms aren't good moms" then that person isn't being passive aggressive, that person is being a jerk and is, quite frankly, wrong.  For that statement to be true there would have to be zero working moms that are good moms in the world.  The immediate PP is right- just ignore and move on.  Stop giving credence to worthless opinions.[/quote]

I bet she's not saying those words. That's what OP is hearing because she's insecure, but the SIL is saying something else. It's probably more along the lines of "I could never work because I'd miss out on too much" and OP is taking that personally.[/quote]

No, that's not what she says. I know what she says, you know why? I am there when she she says it. [/quote]

Then I guess she thinks you're a shit mom. Are you?[/quote]

Nope. Not at all
