[quote=Anonymous]I assume she actually has money? In any case, unless she sees it as a problem and decides she wants to do behavioral therapy, this isn't going to change. It is unlikely that this will happen. Love your mom for who she is, and try not to push situations where this kind of behavior happens. When your kids are old enough teach them about the Depression and how it affected the shaping of some people. Your mom sounds a bit more anxious than many, so you could also teach them about mental illness and anxiety, but if they're blabber mouths, don't do it. So don't toto restaurants, get take-in and get it yourself. Pre-buy tickets to things, etc. But given your moyher's history, also tell the, to either shut up and accept the ice cream or decline before they leave the noise because they're "not hungry".[/quote]
