[quote=Anonymous]It's okay to limit contact with someone who is not kind to you or your spouse. You can tell her that she may think that you can say something mean to someone and then act like nothing happened, but it doesn't work that way for you. Then just reduce the amount of time you spend with her/talking to her. And it's really not okay for her to call you names. If she did that, I would hang up the phone/end the visit. Period. I do not want my kids witnessing that and thinking it's appropriate behavior. And please, do not take into account whether or not she will stop buying the kids as much stuff. It is far more important for your children to learn to treat others with respect and kindness than to witness your mother mistreating you and your husband than it is for them to have new clothes and toys.
