These would be things I would never say to my daughter or daughter-in-law since my MIL has some funny (not haha funny) comments she likes to make.

"Be careful what you wish for" after I was complaining to my mum about pregnancy aches and pains

avoid calling my grandchild by their name because I don't like it - my MIL has only just started regularly calling DS Noah. He's almost 3 and she still struggles to say his name, and doesn't hide the fact she doesn't like it.

When I was leaking breastmilk in the early weeks with DS. "Oh yuk, I don't know how you do it and it smells awful" - MIL recalling her breastfeeding experience that lasted 2 weeks with her first and refused to BF her next 2 because she thought it was disgusting.

"You haven't started TT him yet? All mine were done by 2, are you going to be dropping him off to school in nappies?" - another MIL snarky comment. There's a hundred of them with regards to our choice to use MCN's and about TT.

Mainly I will ask my children if they need help and what kind of help and be as supportive as possible. I don't have that. My mum lives 3 hours away and works full time so she can't help me out. My MIL is not supportive in any way. Everything we do is wrong because it's not the way she did it and it drives me batty. To be told occasionally that you're doing a good job would be nice.
