MIL's behavior is pointing toward egalitarian treatment of all young mothers as imbeciles. Consider this exchange between MIL and SIL over lunch:
MIL: She [new baby] finally got quiet.
SIL: I put my finger in her mouth.
MIL: Did you wash it first?
Me (in my mind): Did I hear that right?
That HAS to get on my SIL's nerves...how could it not? That woman has issues. More tonight, I'm sure...
Do you all ever react with raging sarcasm, i.e. "No, Crazy Lady, I rubbed my finger across the restaurant carpet before I stuck it in my kid's mouth! See how she's spitting out the fibers she doesn't like?"
