Another petty mil post....

What used to annoy you about your mil that no longer bothers you at all, or you've just come to accept and move on?  For me it's:

the way she would coo at my newborn ds (who cares?  everyone does things their way. get a life...i'm talking to myself lol)

the fact that she always wants to be invited to everything my parents host or are part of (she just wants to feel included)

feeding my ds certain things that i would not feed him or doing certain things with him that i wouldn't do, such as letting him watch a little tv (who cares?  I've also come to realize that as long as it isn't hurting him, who freaking cares?)

 

Wow I've come a long way since he's now older, and you get exhausted with complaining about every little thing.

    I don't think this is a petty post at all - we all have moments where we have thoughts like these - but it's how you react to these feelings that makes you petty or not (as in that ridiculous post below about the earrings - that is a petty mil post!).

    I think mine is getting worse now that I am pregnant again.  It makes my skin crawl the way she talks to C.  Constant high pitch voice and repeats everything.  "Is that good food you're eating?  Is that good food you're eating?" Over and over.  And GMIL does the same thing so if they're both at my house I have to walk away before I go nuts.

    OMG that was plain lame!  I mean, just say "thanks" and never put your kid in the earrings, jesum crowe!  Or just put them on her when she's around only.

    This is SO petty: It used to annoy me how passive she is in the face of douchebaggery. She doesn't say bad things about people and I don't think that's the best lesson in life- there are times when you need to be honest with people and reflect back the energy they are giving you so that they can self-correct.

    Having said that, she is the most ladylike, graceful creature and I really admire that. Plus a couple times I was feeling snarky about someone and she actually joined in with encouragement... now I feel like I'm initiating her into the badass club and unleashing the mean girl in her and it's kinda fun.
