Mother and MIL at odds!! *m*
| Tue, 02-24-2004 - 12:24am |
Ok I've mentioned before that my MIL and my mom happen to be best friends they known each other since 8th grade. Well now my mom thinks that we are "favoring" my MIL b/c Haylei sees her more. Well first of all isn't that a little immature? But also my MIL and FIL live about 2 miles from us whereas my mom and dad live in Arkansas(we live in tx)so yeah it is MUCH easier to see MIL/FIL than my parents but I don't know what else to do! We travel to AR at least once every two months so it not like we're trying to keep her out of our life but my goodness shes acting like shes NEVER seen our DD. I'm ready to pull my hair out! Don't get me wrong I love my mom but why is she acting like this!!! Anyway now after that ramble can anyone give me some advice or has anyone had something like this happen to them? What do I say? How do I handle this?
TIA,

boy that's sounds familiar...
my mom is in AR also (I'm in Fort Worth), and I heard the same line of whining crap from her (pardon the expression - I just got fed up with it). Anyway, I finally told my mom that she could just as easily drive down here as what I could come up there (and she didn't have a baby to stop and nurse every 2 hours). If driving is too hard, then catch a plane. She now comes at least 4 or 5 times a year.
(Sorry if I sound a little harsh, my mother is EXTREMELY manipulative, and guilt trips are her thing)
