[quote=Anonymous]There's nothing you can do to make your mom happy. You could show up every single weekend and she'd still call you on Wednesday to complain that they never see you in the middle of the week. When she starts criticizing you, I'd just start agreeing with her. "Not coming says it all." "I guess it does! See you in July!" "I can't believe you wouldn't re-book your flights for next week. What kind of terrible daughter would withhold the grandchildren from her own mother?" "Yup, I guess I'm terrible then! Oh well, we'll see you again in April like we agreed!" By defending yourself, you're just handing her back all her power. If you just shrug and say, "Yup, I guess so, Mom, you're right, I'm the worst," and then move on with your life, YOU take back the power. And if she starts in on, "I can't believe you'd say you are a terrible daughter!" you can respond, "I didn't say that. YOU did."[/quote]
