[quote=Anonymous]I hear you OP. My parents are divorced and still live near my hometown. Both of them are welcome to visit whenever they want. My dad comes several times a year and spends time with us whatever we are doing, comes and watches the kids sports, etc. My mom hasn’t come once in over 3 years. She takes vacations with friends or whatever man she’s involved with but when it comes to visiting us she can’t because she doesn’t “get enough time off from work.”

We are about to go visit my hometown for a week. My mom wants the entire week to be about her because “Dad gets to see you all the time and I don’t” in other words making herself a martyr. I understand if my mom truly can’t visit us. But she makes choices, and then makes it all about her being a victim, and I am over it. I’d rather spend the time with my dad.

Like PP said, she wants to be one kind of grandma but feels like another.

It’s hard, but you gotta let go of things you can’t control. OP, if your mom complains again, you can call her out on it succinctly, but leave it at that. She will likely make excuses or whatever, but it’s BS and doesn’t matter.[/quote]
