[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have any of you with these ghastly mothers considered turning the tables? Finding an older woman who is "such a natural with [the grandkids], they just love her" and "her cooking is so amazing, the kids just scarf it up" and "she always gives the kids the *best* presents, she's so thoughtful and really understands them."

Then watch your mothers implode. [/quote]

I have had these people in my life occasionally-like a super nurturing boss at a job I had in grad school. I believe in taking the high road, but also if I did this yes, my mother would implode and escalate and tell me off and I just don't have the energy for that. She can dish it with all sorts of things, but cannot take it and I as annoying as the behavior is, it would be far worse if I have it back to her. I don't need a deluge of hostile calls, emails, etc. If you are thinking it would teach her a lesson, I can assure you it would not. She is not someone who does much self-reflection.[/quote]
