Whenever We Visit My Mother-in-law, She Lays On The Guilt Trip.
|
My in-laws live 125 miles away. We only get to her house about once a month, but we stay for the entire weekend. My husband and I both work on a few Saturdays and Sundays a month and visiting more often isn't really feasible. Every time we go down there she makes guilt soaked comments about how infrequent our visits are. They never offer to come to us. We're both at our wits end because it makes the visits really unpleasant. How do we tell her that the things that she says are hurting us so much?

Tell just as you told us. You might also say that if she continues making you feel guilty you will make less trips and shorter ones to avoid being hurt. You might also tell her that it is time that she ought to come out occasionally because she makes you fell like she disapproves of your house and housekeeping when she doesn't. One good trip deserves another.

You must try to understand your in laws. Give respect to elderly as much as possible, anyway they are too much old to give additional burden by giving them heart aches. It is better to always go with the flow with them and be cheerful always with them
