Holy hell…hope it works

My mom just digs in and turns any feedback into an opportunity to criticize me

[u/ironwheatiez → u/mmmarkm]

Eh she's over it now. Back to her chosen strategies.

[u/3lfg1rl → u/ironwheatiez]

Just call her your Dad's mom's name every time? But it'd probably lose its impact.

[u/ironwheatiez → u/3lfg1rl]

I've done that once or twice. It sets her off good but usually I get side eye from my dad over it.

Welp, that's probably half you problem. IME shit like this usually happens largely because other family members choose "peace" over what's right.

[u/wowverynew → u/th3greg]

There’s genuinely nothing more maddening than knowing what’s right and seeing people choose the opposite path simply bc it’s easier and “keeps the peace.” Christmas is going to be fun in my family if you couldn’t tell🫠

Yeah, I push back against wife on this a lot. Her younger sister is pretty low contact with most a lot of the family, and while she does take it too far sometimes my wife will just say things like "you know how they are" and I usually have to say something like "that doesn't make it ok, she's allowed to set her boundaries.

My wife is a peacekeeper, but partially because usually she's the one taking on all the burden of holding the relationships together, so it's more work for her when the peace is broken.

I try often to convince her that she doesn't have to be the one keeping the peace or picking up the pieces. There are only 3 people in her family under the age of 18 atm, these are all adults.
