[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I have 2 living grandparents, 1 maternal and 1 paternal, both in their 90s, and I won't engage in debates/arguments about politics or that sort of thing.  I've also stayed out of the fray about thoughts/questions about whether they should drive, live alone, etc.  But if one of them bad mouthed one of my parents or said something hurtful to me, I'd say something, for sure.  It doesn't have to contentious, but the reality is, none of us knows how much time we have left in this world, and I choose not to maintains close ties with someone who knowingly and consistently hurts me.

+1! Also, at some point, it becomes meaningless in the balance of life. Even if your Grandma joins the growing population of Centenarians, do you really want to argue with her? Your parents can defend themselves at this point. Relax and avoid the fray. [/quote]

Op's mother is dead, so no, she can't "defend herself".  Op doesn't have to get angry at grandma, but neither does she have to listen to badmouthing about her deceased mother. [/quote]
