mother in law and double standards....

Re: mother in law and double standards…

why does adjusting your expectations mean that you won’t be asking about her or her daughter?
adjusting means lowering or not having expectations that they will enquire about you. it does not mean that you should stop behaving in a courteous and polite manner.

why can’t you keep asking about them but not expect them to ask about you?
how is that adjusting?

you are always looking for reciprocity and tit for tat behaviour from people…rude awakening: life doesn’t work that way.
