[quote=Anonymous]I feel like I don’t know how to properly communicate with her anymore. It’s not Alzheimer’s or dementia or any other underlying condition, she’s always been like this. She knows best about everything, yet rarely heeds her own advice. Examples of late:

Will preach about how we can’t visit my immune-compromised dad, because it’s too risky. But will admit that he visited the grocery store with her, but wore a mask and gloves. When asked why we couldn’t social distance outside in gloves and mask? It’s too risky. But he needed to go to the store?

I recently purchased a new car. My mom asked what brand of tires it came with. When I said Well-Known Brand, she replied that she had never heard of it and would demand Goodyear. But neither of their vehicles drives on Goodyear tires.

It’s like any topic, she knows best, but more often than not, her opinion isn’t applicable in her own life. I’ve been trying my best to ignore it for years, to just vent to DH, but enough is enough. Is there a clever comeback? I’m so done. [/quote]
