(She told me last night my kid was too skinny, and that I must not be feeding him enough. She then proceeded to try to feed him things I didn't approve of--and when I told her not to, she tried when I wasn't looking. Agh!)
Well, don't feel you are alone in this. We got the exact same thing from my mom in regards to S. He's stick thin but it's not like we are starving him. He's just that way. Well, it didn't bother me too much since I grew up with that type of comments. It totally made the W mad. She took it as an insult saying that she's not a good mother and is starving our child. I think a lot of controlling parents tends to do that. Being critical that is. Maybe your MIL is just more extreme than most.
Drinking on the job again eh?
