[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a mom who’s very passive-aggressive and currently not speaking to me after a disagreement we had over something stupid. It’s been going on for a month now. This isn’t the first time this has happened, but the way it typically goes is she will ignore me until it suits HER (like she needs something from me, a holiday rolls around, etc.) I’m tired of just pretending like, and her expecting me to act like what just happened didn’t happen. And this time around my kids are old enough to see what’s going, and they keep asking why we can’t see grandma, or why grandma isn’t talking to us. Now she’s playing games with them too. Any advice on how to deal with sliding back into visits, or better, how much to limit visits once she decides she’s talking to me/us again? I just want her to know she can’t do this to the kids. You’re either in or you’re out. [/quote]

I am in the same boat OP. Have not spoken to my mother since late November. She IMed me the other day (entitled/rude IM) on when I plan on doing her taxes this year. I have not responded yet, but when I will....will recommend her H&R Block or a good accountant. [/quote]
