[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love mine because she gave me two amazing, wonderful, loving grandchildren.  And she is a good mother to them.  She however isn't the woman (and hence the life) I had envisioned for my son.  I look past a lot because its none of my business but one thing that really gets me is how she puts so much financial pressure on my son.  They have more than enough money but to her they always need a little more.  I feel like she chases after some different vain goal every 5 years and than once its attained its on to the next.

How do you know about the financial pressure and the vain goals? Do they really discuss these things with you? [/quote]

NP here. My DH has a colleague with this problem. They married in their early thirties and it has been non-stop financial pressure from her since then. She had one child and wanted another so she went through several rounds of IVF. Once they stopped, she got pregnant. She then insisted they renovate their 2 bedroom to a 3 bedroom with a third bath and use an interior decorator. Once it was finished, she wanted a new, large home in a more prestigious area., guilting him that the kids needed more room while they were young. Then she had a boob job because having kids made them droopy, in addition to her usual botox. The kids are attending private kinder and elementary at $25K+ each. She didn't like driving the minivan they bought two years earlier and now has a BMW SUV. She bought him an expensive watch early so he would be sure to gift her an expensive piece of jewelry on time. The guy has frequent migraines, has asked for two raises in a year and looks constantly stressed.  [/quote]
