[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm still interested in the concept of getting "embarrassed" in front of my kids.  I honestly cannot imagine that happening.

For me at least, everything within the family is fair game and all in good fun and/or in the interest of honesty and just being completely comfortable around eachother.  Speaking ill outside of the family....different thing altogether.

Everybody is different OP.  Decide what works for you.  There is a lot of space between not caring at all and cutting her off from your kids.

Its different when the story teller knows what they are doing and it’s not all in good fun. The mocking and demeaning only ever go one way where the story teller is the hero and the other person is the villain.[/quote]

PP and I agree.  But nothing the OP has posted so far makes that clear that is the case here.  Certainly not the "hero and villain" part.  It may be true, but it may not be.  [b]A lot is being assumed about the mother's intent[/b]...[/quote]

Really? You think so? OP stated that her mom repeatedly tells negative stories about her, OP asked her not to, and then her mom cried and accused OP of being mean to her. You think we’re assuming that Op’s mom isn’t caring about OP’s feelings when she keeps doing something OP has asked her to stop doing because it bothers her? Then crying when called out on this bad behavior, you think we’re making too many assumptions when we call it manipulative?

Not sure if your rose colored glasses prevent you from seeing bullying behavior or if something else is at play, and I wouldn’t want to assume anything about you because I don’t know you, but OP spelled the situation out pretty clearly leaving no need to assume if her mother is being kind or unkind to her.
