I just want to once respond "Settle down bitch. I just need a fucking sip of water." She works herself up into a tizzy thanks to never having worked through her issues with her own mother dying when my mom was a small child.
So when my mom has bronchitis or a cold or whatever I just say "Oh, sorry to hear you're sick; feel better soon." And then THAT'S IT. The grandchildren have nothing to do with this.
You understand where it comes from yet you have no compassion.
