[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your mother has deep issues. You DO need to teach your children to look people in the eye, and respond when they are spoken to. But do not push them to hug someone they don't feel warmly towards or punish them for not hugging.

If your mother comes over, I'd suggest she and one of your kids go bake something you've put out. Or that your kid read her a poem they've written for school or something like that. Clearly, they need help and a project, a purpose would help. [/quote]

I'm realizing that these normal types of things you do with a grandchild.... She cannot do those things.  She will be annoyed or perplexed at the suggestion.

She sulks when I bring her along to outings with our kids like a children's museum.  She looks around and says there's not a lot of other older people like her. [b] She gets faint and nearly passes out, from not eating enough breakfast, and requires me to sit with her for a couple of hours[/b].[/quote]

Your mother is an attention whore. Hand her a protein bar and a bottle of water, and point her to a bench. Then go join your kids. WTF - she gets faint from a CHOICE to not eat breakfast and then needs you to sit with her? What would happen if you DIDN'T sit with her?  Nothing. She just wants your attention. She is uncomfortable seeing you give attention to your kids. Because then you're not focusing on her. She's messed up.[/quote]
