[quote=Anonymous]OP, you have to figure out what YOU want from your mother. If you would like your children to meet her, then figure out a neutral space where they can meet for a short time. If you simply want your mother to go away, then do as a PP suggested, and tell her the timing will not work for you, and that she needs to give you more notice that she is planning a visit. She sounds so manipulative already. She probably wants to get money out of you, that's why she's coming under the guise of visiting her grandchildren. So sorry you had to endure such a terrible mom. You don't have to endure her any more, if you don't want to. You set clear limits and stick to them. Your kids don't need to see your mom ever. They might be curious when they are older, but by then you will be able to explain her behavior to them. Don't give in to her manipulative tactics. You sound like you are trying to do the right thing, but it's a lose-lose situation with people like your mom. [/quote]
