Pesky Mother-in-law?

Mother-in-laws! Sometimes they are great and supportive, sometimes you get one that despises you. Unfortunately, I got the latter. I love my husband, but his mother is absolutely the thorn in my side. She is very judgmental, selfish, and opinionated. I am a young mother to a wonderful 22-month-old boy. I am also a full-time college student. I don't work right now because my husband and I both agreed that I should focus on my studies and our son. My mother-in-law hates that I stay home. She is one of those types of people that you can never please though. Right now, her argument is that if I stay home, we will miss out on the extra income. But if I went back to work she would hate the daycare I choose, or think I'm not spending enough time on my son.
