[quote=Anonymous]OP I think your mom is a narcissistic mother. Its common with the mother's of only children and there is a lot to read about it on the internet if you google "surviving a narcissistic mother". Reacting to stuff gives them power, it keeps the argument alive. If your Dh thinks he was rude and should apologize then let him. If not, I would just say nothing. Maybe repeat the phrase to her "our house, our rules" til she gets the point. I have had to say to my own mother "I do not need your advice, your instructions or your approval" because she has always been so mightily interfering and as you say, requiring deference like she's an "elder" and in all ways superior. I had to cut off all contact with my mother for 6 months. After that things were greatly improved. She still drives me crazy sometimes but I am less engaged with it.[/quote]
