[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was my mom when my second kid was born. She was 61 at the time. She insisted on coming to "help"
-she sat on the couch most of the day and expected me to make her cups of tea
- She constantly told me old wives advice that contradicted what my Dr said
- She shook the baby multiple times to "make sure she was breathing" then got upset when I told her to stop
- She slept in until 10 but complained about how tired she was
- She didn't put the parking brake on my stick shift car and it rolled out of the garage- luckily the door was open and my toddler wasn't around
- She made dinner once and huffed and puffed like a toddler while doing that- and started yelling and cursing at the stove b.c the water wasn't boiling. Of course she had the setting on Medium

Yes- my therapist has said she has Narc tendencies [/quote]

This sounds a lot like my mom! Including the unsolicited advice about everything under the sun. She has now decided that my son is lactose intolerant because he had a stomach ache for two days. Sigh.

Thanks a lot for all the responses and words of wisdom. This is hard.. my mom is still here, things have improved somewhat because my expectations are now zero so today when she spent 30 minutes playing with the boys it was a pleasant surprise.  2 more weeks to go.

Thanks for update, OP. It is so satisfying when an OP participates in a civil, engaged manner. Only connect![/quote]
