[quote=Anonymous]How old is mom? Big difference between someone in their 60s or early 70s vs. someone who is 80-85+. If she’s on the younger end, my gut says she’s being manipulative. The “toddler holding their breath” poster is spot on. Have you heard of “grey rock” or “bean dipping?” Be pleasant but don’t give in, don’t harp on asking what’s wrong, don’t apologize profusely, you have to wait for the tantrum to pass. If older, she may need a serious check up to make sure there are no mental issues (dementia), or physical issues causing mental issues (UTI). Infections can be serious in the elderly and cause personality changes. [/quote]
