I love my personal space, and I know how to ask for it when I want/need it. I also, as an adult member of a FAMILY, realize that everything, at all times is not about me, and yes there are times when I don't feel like doing something or seeing someone but I can put their needs before mine in that instance. I am not a child who has to have her every need met at every second or my whole world collapses. I did not marry my husband and all of sudden he became "mine" and "mine" alone, no longer a primary member of his family of origin. I did not give birth to children who are "mine" and "mine" alone, they are part of an extended family and we try to get along as best as possible. Bottom line, I know how to sometimes take one for the team and realize it was not that big a deal as I originally thought it would be. That is not being passive, it's being an adult.
Different PP, but um, good for you. I second giving you some kind of crown for awesomeness.
I would give her one and mean it - because she is a lot like me.
Must be tough for some of y'all going through life finding fault with everything that someone does - even if there intent is good. That has to be miserable.
Must be tough not getting what people are trying to tell you.
Oh, I KNOW exactly what people are trying to say and I have come to the conclusion that a lot of problems y'all have with your MIL's are self-fulfilling. But it is fine, you live your way and I will live my way.
