I was venting to my mom about MIL's visit. In the convo it was clear my mom didn't see things my way so I changed the subject. My mom just called me back to let me know that I'm harsh in my words and tone. That I'm unbending and cranky. That she stays away from me because the things I say about MIL she hears about herself.
She brought up crap from Christmas. I'd told her we don't give the kid water out of a cup because then he won't eat or drink anything else. She gave him 2 cups of water. He didn't eat anything else and pissed through his diaper and the only pjs we'd brought. Then didn't like that I was upset.
She kept saying "I had hoped the mill would have left you by now and you'd be happier." Really? I worked there for 11 years. You think it's going to be gone n 4 months? Or that maybe I've just had a huge upheaval and I'm still sorting things out? Or maybe I was VENTING to someone I had considered a FRIEND more than a mom at this point in my life. Lessoned learned lady.
Or maybe part of the reason the visits hurt is that it's MIL and not my mom?
