[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all this. There is a lot of other stuff over the years going on here too —[b] I’m the most successful of my siblings by far and don’t take money from my parents or ask for much help[/b] (I don’t want the strings that come attached with that).

Yes I think my mom took all of the issues with my sister out on me. I don’t want this to be a bigger thing — my mom is never going to change and neither me nor my husband don’t want the kids to have a relationship with her etc. I think the let things blow over probably is the easiest. No need to rehash all of this again.

And yes to the hotel on future years, although I had proposed that for this trip and my mom was offended. Live and learn![/quote]

That bolded part is totally irrelevant and makes you seem like you think because you earn more money and don't take money from your parents that your children are entitled to act like spoiled brats. [/quote]

I agree with this.  OP's explanation is really an explanation of why she thinks she is right and her mom is wrong.  For my part, I cannot imagine allowing my kids misbehave in my parent's house and not doing something about it before my parents felt they had to say something.  I think OP is in for some unhappy surprises about her kids as they get older.[/quote]

I didn't get that vibe at all from OP's post, and unlike her, I yell at my kids :-) It seems as though the mother likes to control her adult children, and OP doesn't play ball, which then leads to more fights.[/quote]
