My Mother-in-Law’s Competition Olympics: Can I Ever Win? 🥲

Ever since I moved to Seattle and married my husband, it feels like my mother-in-law and I are stuck in a never-ending competition. Whether it’s who bakes the best cookies or who has the most spotless kitchen, she always finds a way to one-up me. Even when I try to let things go, she turns every family event into a silent contest. It’s honestly draining! I just want to feel like I belong in the family, not like I’m constantly being measured and found lacking. Every holiday or birthday, I catch myself worrying about what she’ll criticize next. Sometimes, I wonder if she sees me as a rival instead of her daughter-in-law. Have you ever felt like you’re walking on eggshells around your in-laws, just trying to avoid another round of comparisons? I’d love to hear your stories—maybe we can help each other survive these family showdowns! 😅 #FamilyDrama #MotherInLawProblems #InLawStruggles #FamilyRelationships
