Why is my mother-in-law such a hypocrite???
Is there a special "mother-in-law rant" website or blog or discussion group? Coz I tell you, I need to let all my frustration out, otherwise I'm afraid I'm gonna literally blow up one day... I'm trying to calm myself down for an hour after my mother-law left our house... For every frickin thing she has a comment that clearly tells me: I'm better than you, I do better than you, bla bla bla...
Why does she always have to make feel this way?
I'm 5 m. pregnant with my second, I have a two year-old and my stepson who stays with us on weekends. My mother-in-law lives with her husband and daughter who has a 5 y.o. son.
And she always compares herself to me: in her house there's always home-made food... Her kids never fell, her kids were always well-mannered, her house is always clean even with toddlers, etc.
Forget about pregnant you with a sick 2 year old who couldn't sleep well because of high fever, coughing, etc. She says she came to check if her oldest grandson (my stepson who never eats home-made food) had dinner today. And don't you dare forget to offer her food, drink and all that.
And the most annoying part is I guarantee you there's no home-made food at her house right now. She always tells all kinds of crap about how she's better but at the end I always find out it's not true.
I have to bite my tongue and just try to ignore everything she says. Sometimes it works, but a lot of the time it boils my blood.
Like when my toddler fell and had a bruise, she told me "how come in a house with two adults (my husband and I) you let him fall?? You can't even take care of him" or " my kids never fell". And then a week later my toddler falls and has a big bruise on his forehead at her house where there are 3 adults...
It may seem like nothing, but i can fill several books with moments like this: where she has to make me feel like crap every time I see her.
