[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 225710, member: 3626"] I had a friend who would happily watch my daughter when she was little. She never understood why I would be so frustrated. One Saturday, I was out shopping and she called me. "Come get her!!!" was said through clenched teeth. She looked at me when I picked my child up and shook her head. "How do you cope with THAT day after day?" "Easy, she's my heart." However, whenever I heard someone make the good for them comment to me, I simply called my friend and had her explain how well my daughter could honeymoon. I would then offer to leave her a week with them and then see if they said the same thing. Shut up many people. As to your mother in law, of course he was good for them. He was the center of attention and nothing was expected of him. Plus, he is safe to act out in front of you. You'll love him regardless of what he does and he knows it. Grandma might just get mad at him. And, of course, he wasn't being severely stimulated by too many people around her. The reality is there is nothing you can do or say when people choose to undermine you when you're not there to stop them. Like most mother in law issues, the best you can do is grin and bear it and remember that she raised the man you love. (If you ever fall out of love with him, you can still say that but with a different voice and attitude.) [/QUOTE]
