Dear Care and Feeding: I'm so sick of my mother-in-law not respecting our choices.
I am a mother to a 5-year-old and have been married for 10 years. My spouse and I were raised in different religions. While neither of us no longer practice any religion, we still celebrate many different holidays with our families. My issue is my mother. She is a strict practicing Catholic and gets very offended when we celebrate Christian holidays with my in-laws . Each year, she complains about the holidays she doesn’t get , especially Easter.
I have confronted her, to which she provides passive-aggressive commentary that she’ll apologize to me, “like always” and that she is just telling me how she feels. I’m at my wit’s end with it and don’t know how to handle this with her anymore. I don’t want to cut off my parents, but I also don’t want to tolerate this kind of behavior toward my in-laws, who’ve done nothing wrong, or this dynamic where I don’t feel respected as an adult.
