[quote=Anonymous]Oh, thank you all for the sympathy.  It has me in tears.  Being DCUm, I expected to be criticized.  What a nice surprise, especially when my feelings are being ignored here.

Just one more day and night.

I guess I should let her help more.  I have let her cook a bit since she is an awesome cook.  I just didn't want her doing other stuff because she often complains about being tired.  I can just imagine her sitting in a friend's house and complaining how she had to come here and do dishes and she is so tired ...

She is 79 and in good health.  Yet often complains about various aches, pains and fatigue.  She has complained about aches and pains for my entire memory.  She is not grateful for anything.  She complains about others all the time, even her supposed friends.  A recent favorite was complaining about her longtime friend who had just lost her husband two weeks prior.

She started in on my 5 year old again this evening for "not coming to her."  Then when I tried to explain why that might be, she said "fine, blame me, it is all my fault."  These words have been uttered by her thousands of time.  When I try and talk logically and explain someone else's position, she gets all passive aggressive.

The "what are you doing" comment was explained by her as she was expecting my older DD was going with her (not sure why).  Even so, why the barking tone?  And, no, she would never listen to a video of herself.  She would rever to "fine, it's all my fault" talk.

To make me feel even worse, it is obvious to my kids how much she is stressing me out.  Now that will affect their relationship more than hearing her bark comments at them.

19:39, I think I am where you are.   I've just had enough.[/quote]
