[quote=Anonymous]OP, was she like this when you were younger? My mother had lots of patience with my sisters' kids 20 years ago, but she has undergone age-related mental changes since then, so that her relationship with my kids is not great. She expects them to act like adults and has said some harsh things to my loving son when he has made too much noise in the house, etc. We now stay in a hotel every time we visit so that we aren't in her face all day every day. She cries when we leave, wants us to visit more often, etc., and I do my best to let her disapproval of my kids slide, but I have the tough choice between allowing more time together and limiting it so that my kids don't start disliking her. She was so loving and sweet when I grew up and it's heartbreaking to know that my kids don't know her as she was. Good luck. [/quote]
