In-laws can’t have a normal conversation
Does anyone else have in-laws who need to constantly analyze everything? If I send them a picture of my kids, they can’t just say ‘thanks’ or ‘looks like fun!’ they say things comparing my baby to his older brother or grandpa, commenting on his facial features (said he looks like he had Botox in his lips..), or they analyze what I’m doing- MIL will reply she’s surprised I’m managing to take both kids to the library, instead of just saying it looks like we had a good day. It’s literally in response to everything. My feeling is, of course I can take them to the library, they’re my kids and I’m a fully capable adult. When I told her it’s not so hard, my arms are just getting strong from carrying them both, she said ah yes that’s how tender little girls become strong women, that ‘life hardens us’. I don’t think I need to be hardened? I believe I’ve been a strong woman at least since I had my first son.
