[quote=Anonymous]We do grey rock with my MIL to an extent.  It's hard for my DH, because she is very good at asking pointed questions, so sometimes he has to be so vague it's obvious he's withholding or just answer.  Things like: where we spent part our weekend, how we paid for our car, anytime we've seen my mother.  She will latch onto certain details and throw it back at us weeks or months later.

It sucks.  I don't have anyone that is this difficult to manage in my life, except for her.  It makes everything stressful and annoying.  I will STRIVE to not be like this.  I realize it stems from deep rooted insecurity.  But it is baffling to me to lack such self awareness that she doesn't see a single pattern in her behavior.  She thinks she can throw temper tantrums at one gathering, be "good" the next time we see her, and then freak out again with no consequences.

She is so extremely volatile and impossible to predict.  You may get cheery, happy grandma.  Or you may get scowling, angry grandma.  So the consequence is we don't see as much as she would like.  And then she's angry about that and the cycle repeats itself.[/quote]
