[quote=Anonymous]OP, please, please focus on this: Your mom is in your life and well enough to be ABLE to care for your kid at all. I would give anything to have my own junk-food-eating, TV-watching mom back and in good enough shape to spend even a couple of hours with my daughter, but my mom is dead. She used to joke that her job would be to "teach the kid to eat bad desserts and white bread, and play poker." I sure wish she were here to do just that. Next time you start to feel annoyed, please try to laugh it off and see it for what it is -- a benefit to you and to your child, too, to be able to know grandma at all. Your influence as the parent far outweighs grandma's occasional TV overdose with the kids, or a few days of junkier food. In other words -- count your blessings and let the annoyance go.[/quote]
