[quote=Anonymous]I am generation Z, but this thread reminds me of my mother, who also feels entitled and paints a portrait of herself handing it all with grace and respect growing up. She leaves out the part about her uncontrollable rage, her tantrums at her MIL, her threats, manipulation and guilt trips and how we had to fend for ourselves a lot.

When she sees the grandkids, it's like having another demanding child and if I dared to want help beyond her babysitting with me in the house or closeby so i dealt with diapers or any issues, then I would be in debt to her for life.

She goes on and on about how adoring her neighbors adult kids and grandchildren are. The neighbor would take her grandkids for weeks at a time, come visit and clean and cook and cater to her kids and grandkids. I would never expect that, but my goodness would I be grateful.

I have a good relationship with my teenage kids, but I am constantly reflecting and when there is conflict, I own my part and apologize. I get therapy when I think I am repeating patterns. I cannot ever imagine thinking I am completely innocent if 3 adult children are resentful of me. I also wouldn't come to DCUM if they were, I would get professional help.[/quote]
