[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] No. I try and talk to my mom as little as possible. I have a weird combination of pity that she’s so sick and anger that she won’t seek help. But if I did this, it would drive her nuts. My mom is always very concerned with how much my in-laws see the kids. She has never met my kids, despite repeated offers to bring them up to see her. She’s just a very sick person and I try to keep that in mind. I do what I can to protect me and my family from her, while trying not to make her suffering worse. It’s gotta be an awful way for her to live.[/quote]
