[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Eh. My mom is really critical of me, and I don't enjoy spending time with her. She's also nosy. However, she does try to be nice to my kids, so I just keep reiterating my boundaries about making unacceptable or mean comments. Could you do something similar? DP. Do you just reiterate your boundaries and do nothing or are there consequences for your mom crossing the boundaries?[/quote] The consequence is that my family changes the subject, talks among ourselves, and stops giving her attention, which bothers her immensely.[/quote] OP here. I've done this with my mother. She gets angry and throws out zingers meant to hit the jugular if I don't stay on the phone. I tell her I don't want to talk about a certain topic anymore, i.e. politics, and then she insults me. So I tell her my kids are doing something crazy and I need to go.[/quote]
