[quote=Anonymous]Can anyone help me with tips or commiseration about how to get over resentment about unhelpful, local grandmother? I am a mom of 3 under 5 who works 20 hours a week and have a mother (age 70) who lives locally. I feel like I am drowning in my to do list and exhausted in general, and my mother piles more work on me non stop. When I ask her for help, she declines. However, she has no problem asking me to take her places, pick up things for her, and help her with things. She gets mad when I say no and won't visit the kids (who love her). However, she will not even offer to stop at the store for me on her many trips for recreational grocery shopping during the week. I am growing so, so resentful of her as I remember her dropping me and my sister off at our grandparents ALL THE TIME when I was growing up. Ugh, just need to get over this but another text came in asking for help and I'm just DONE.[/quote]
