[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think when I had my kids my mother felt like the spotlight shifted -- which she has never been good with. She's a horrific grandmother-- Judgy, selfish, and antagonistic with her toddler granddaughter.

You would NEVER have expected if from a woman who was always so warm and generous with kids.

Good times. [/quote]

can you give examples of this? I posted just above you and [b]I believe my mother uses her dogs to compete with her grandchildren[/b].  Like, she uses her dogs to try to get attention from others when the grandkids are around..it's very obvious and weird.[/quote]

This is my MIL.  She is obsessed with her dogs.  If we are over and she thinks she's not getting enough attention, she will make a huge scene about something to do with the dogs, like giving them leftovers and such.  It's SO weird.  And also a reason I'll never let her watch my infant at her house.  I don't trust her to choose my daughter's safety over the dog's comfort.[/quote]
