[quote=Anonymous]My mom and I have a rocky relationship for various reasons.  She loves to gaslight, etc., and we just don't really get along.  I've finally reached the point in my life where I've had enough of being walked all over when she's in my house, and when she was here for the holidays I told her she could stay in a hotel but not with us (she ended up staying with my sister, who lives close-ish, the whole time).  It ended up being a great visit, actually, because of the extra distance.

Now the new baby is coming and she is begging for one more chance and to stay with us when she visits.  She's been given plenty of chances in the past - we've been fighting about the same things for years.  I don't know if she means it or if she's capable of acting respectfully in my house.

So I'm torn - let her stay and say that this is really the LAST chance for the benefit of my kids (older and new)?  Or am I being a fool for thinking/hoping that this time she'll treat us like adults and not wayward children, when she hasn't been able to accomplish that in the last 5-10 years that we've been fighting about it?
