One last FFFC for me...

MIL watches DS on Fridays.  Today she shows up with 4-5 grocery bags full of food DS eats: fruits, pasta, frozen veggies, applesauce, etc.  All she said she she walked in was "I picked up a few things for E while at the store."  I'm sure she bought it just to be nice but I can't help but feel like she thinks we don't feed him good enough.  That or she thinks we don't have money to buy him food???  I just don't understand or believe her motive.

Maybe she was just trying to be nice?  Does she have a history of passive aggressive behavior? If so, I could see why it would bother you.

I don't know your relationship with your MIL, but I would be thrilled!

I'd be happy, but I don't know your history with MIL.

Definitely passive aggressive.  She told DH she wants to buy me a vacuum for my bday so DH won't get sick from the dog hair.  How sweet of her!

I should add that I am thrilled that I won't have to buy all the food myself but I just can't shake the feeling she has some other motive.

Is she under the impression that you are the only person in your house that can vacuum?

My MIL is the same way, but every now and then when she orders Market Day stuff, she gets stuff for us too and I still get excited about it, lol.  I realize she thinks that all I know how to do is defrost and heat, and that I don't feed my family... but I know that isn't true, so the joke's on her!
