[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like my family. Shame on your mom for not being more considerate. OP has friggin' CANCER.

My mother thinks the holidays are now all about her being the greatest grandma alive. With two small children myself, honestly, I could live without the holidays for a few years. Kids have no clue what's going on at that age, anyway. That's why we get a very small Christmas tree. If grandma doesn't like it, if the xmas tree just isn't big and shiny enough for grandma, she can stick the little tree you know where. ;-P

As far as OP's mother's behavior goes, I chalk it up to how some old people are-- it's all about "me me me me me me me me me." It's the start of the regression that elderly go through, sort of like Benjamin Button. All they need is a damn pacifier.

Also sounds like OP's parents have very little going on in their lives. It's like Thanksgiving is the biggest moment grandma has to think about for all of 2016 other than the presidential election. People like that need a hobby or two, big time. [/quote]
