[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the PPs that you need to set limits and let go of your desire to have that Mother's-Day-Card kind of relationship. You also shouldn't worry about what kind of relationship your mother has with your kids. It's not your relationship, it's your mother's and she's already set the tone for it. You should, though, make sure you show you're kids that you will not allow them to be treated disrespectfully. You need to model the behavior you want them to have when in a similar position. And, everyone is in one of those positions in their life. It also sends a powerful message that even 'family' doesn't get a pass on bad behavior. You're relationship with your kids won't be anything like you and your mother's. You've got self-awareness! Hugs to you (and your DH who must be biting his tongue).[/quote]
