[quote=Anonymous]Stop responding to her tantrums, yelling, and bad behavior. If she yells at you on the phone, tell her to stop or you'll hang up -- then do just that. If it's in person, take her aside and give her a choice to stop or leave -- then get her coat and bag and escort her out. Stop engaging in conversations about who got what and what she didn't get. Answer once and then hang up or disengage. I'm guessing that you wouldn't accept this behavior from your kids, why put up with it from another adult? Your new baby, your own health, and your postpartum experience are more important than her perceived slights. Your kids shouldn't have to witness their grandmother berating their mother. And if she treats you this way, eventually she'll treat your kids the same. OP, I'm sorry you have a difficult mother, but it's OK to put you and your family first. I hope you have an easy birth and healthy baby. [/quote]
