[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell her you forgot to have your 7 yo call and that you're sorry she can't remember what it was like to be busy with family/work/etc. Tell her that if such a small thing can send her into such a dramatic tailspin it would be better for her not to do it again because you can't be sure to live up to her expectations. You've got enough on your plate without have to manage her, too. FWIW - I've said a more sanitized version of this to my MIL who is a freakin drama queen.[/quote] Above is horrible advice. [b]OP was an idiot for not calling when both kids could say thank you.[/b][/quote] Are you OP's mother? OP wasn't an idiot, she got busy and forgot. OP would be an idiot if she didn't use this as an opportunity to establish better boundaries and expectations with her mother - who sounds like she needs to have a 'managed' relationship.[/quote]
