  I'm sorry, Prim. She needs a mute button.

  Sorry Prim. Geez, well why can't she say anything nice, and when is she going to start being supportive? IL's are special people :P

  I also wonder why you haven't forced your child's teeth to come in. We really need to work on those parenting skills.

  Who is this woman? Like, really? I'd be so in wonder to meet her. She blows my freakin' mind from what you tell us.
  So sorry you have to deal with such b.s.

  Soooo....there's this thing called the scold's bridle (got it from a book). While it was probably used to shush any outspoken woman of her time, sometimes, in very special cases, a lady just has it coming.

  She needs a big ol lesson in "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all"

  Guys, I think she is incapable of praising anyone unless it's to make a comparison. Everyone else's achievement, house, salary, car or kids are better.

  I am sorry Prim!! You could maybe start highlghting any errors (spelling, punctuation or whatever) in her emails and send them back with no other comments. Of course that only works if there are any.

  You should Photoshop teeth on.

  Yes! Photoshop to her liking and then make card board cut outs she can keep at her house. She can be happy and you can be free of her crazy. Win win.

  Just send her pictures of kids that meet her standards. She wants to see an 8 m.o. with teeth so google around for one and send her that picture.

  I was going to say the same thing. Just send her random pictures of baby/kid models and see if she even picks up on the difference.
  
  I would end up saying something. I tend to be quit vocal and can only deal with so much. Sometimes a sharp tongue can help a situation.

  I'm so sorry. You are an awesome mom and your kids are adorable and amazing. Your MIL should be grateful just to know you.

  @RoRo10733‌ : you'd think a tongue lashing would fix something. I've had sharp words with her & she just ignores me. Either that or she will call me irrational & a bad parent. My husband has even tried to tell her to STFU. She just gets sullen & butthurt.
  
  Then we endure email insanity & long rambling phone freak outs. Most of which we delete. The woman thinks the world should operate a certain way & all other methods are inferior.
  
  She thinks she is helping even when you tell her outright she is not. It's an experience in the 18th circle of hell.

  She sounds bitter.  Maybe jealous.  Above all, annoying as fuck.
  
  Ask for pictures of her and then criticize ridiculous things about them that she has no control over.

  Seriously, you are way too nice to keep including her in your lives. You will be rewarded somehow. When she will be gone, you won't have any regrets and that's the best part of it because you'll know you always did what you could to be nice and it was not on your side to make things better.

  
  

  Now, after my very 'mature' comment... next time tell her to go F herself!
