My kids are grown and out of the house, but there was a lot of sacrifice when they were growing up.

Right on the mark. The key word in your sentence is "sacrifice", the key word in her sentence was "compromise".
Two completely different words and two completely different mindsets. That thing she calls "the baby" is really a drain. I suggest she trade "it" in and get a declawed, defanged cat that hates people and just lays on the window ledge all day.
