Had guests over last week – my husband's friends and their families. I posted a photo of the cake and cupcakes I made. And my mother-in-law wrote: "Thanks so much for the little cake, everything was delicious and beautiful 🫪." She's said this 3-4 times already. I don't get why she does this. It's definitely not sarcasm, like she's upset we didn't invite them. It's like she has bipolar disorder. They visit us periodically, and I always welcome them warmly.

I've been around for a while and I'm always amazed by people like you and your mother-in-law! 😆

Where did you post the photo?
Maybe a comment so all your acquaintances can see what a wonderful daughter-in-law they have and how well they were received..

Your husband's friends, your husband's mom… Let him deal with it! 😉 Let him explain to his mom why he's not taking her to visit his friends (or explain to his friends why he showed up with his mommy))). And if she wants you to bake her a cake, she can ask directly (or at least through her son))).

Ievleva kseniya Such a strange woman 😀 One minute she's badmouthing relatives, the next her daughter-in-law is golden.

Pozdnyakova Yuliya Do you think this is like a hint for a meetup or something?

That's hurtful. My friend has the same kind of mother-in-law. She believes she absolutely has to be invited whenever my friend has guests over with her husband, no matter if they're family or friends. She also wants to be there for all the holidays.

So tell her in your reply, why are you writing this?

Pozdnyakova Yuliya I think it's a hint about a cake)) I doubt her mom is so... umm... weird to expect her grown son to bring friends over)) I don't know how often you spoil her with your homemade baking, but this sounds more like the idea: 'Ah, so you weren't too lazy to bake something delicious for *them*, but for your own mother, you're just not bothered...')

sofia namgaladze Our apartment isn't huge, and we've never invited parents over before when we were planning to hang out with friends.

Pozdnyakova Yuliya I bake cakes and pies for every meeting, so I don't understand the point of these comments.

Pozdnyakova Yuliya Maybe, purely theoretically, the comment wasn't meant as a hint or sarcasm? I thought it was about one of the cakes you baked for her... or she'd received one from you before and decided to write that it was delicious… Honestly, it's easier to just let it go) It was written as a compliment, so just take it as a compliment)

sofia namgaladze And that's totally normal. Some parents just don't realize that their adult children have a life of their own, separate from them.

I posted a photo of a cake with pink filling (we had just found out our youngest's gender then) with the big letters "Baby"

It was my friend's dad's birthday that day, and he saw my post with the cake and wrote, "Thank you very much."
I didn't understand at first, but then I totally got it 🤣

Maybe she sees your cake post, but the older generation thinks you're intentionally sending it to him/her (like a postcard), which is why they comment.

And what does the most beautiful time of the year have to do with it? She's just advertising for you.

So it's just hurt feelings then. I read in the comments that she sometimes gargles.

Yeah, it seems like we've been neutral for the last few years. There are occasional flare-ups, but very rarely.
