[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you’re an enabler. Own your part. Own your contributions to this horrible dynamic.

-Blow up my phone in an non-emergency situation, and you will be blocked. Point blank period. Ask me why, and I’ll tell you: you may call me, once, and leave one message. If I judge your call to be something I need to take action on, you will hear from me within 24 hours. You may call me once per day, unless it’s a true emergency. If you call me more than once per day and it’s not an emergency, you go back on block for a week. In case of emergency, dial 911.

-Fail to follow venue rules or staff restrictions as related to my kids’ events, and I will never invite you to a single kid event, ever again. If DH wants you to be involved, he can invite you. I won’t so much as sit next to you if you embarrass me, because I won’t be associated with anyone who disrespects camp staff and venue staff, coaches, parent volunteers, etc.

-If you don’t listen to and respect me, we’re no longer speaking. Any and all communication goes through DH. There’s no point in speaking to people who don’t listen to or respect me. If you want the privilege of contact with me, you will listen to me and respect me. Period.[/quote]

Honestly, this doesn't go far enough. I think OP should look at divorce as a viable option. There is no reason a mother should subject herself or her children to such abusive behavior from a grandparents. Enough is enough. It is time to sit DH down and tell him his mother is an abusive, disrespectful awful woman and he needs to get with the program of sidelining her or get out. Kids need a mother. They don't need grandparents.  [/quote]
