[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 655017, member: 1550"] Think very hard about whether or not she is good for the kids or tries to over-control them, which is just as bad for them as it is for you. You are a strong woman who has overcome a lot. Your mom needs to just be a grandma as in she plays with the kids and buys them ice cream and babysits...she does not monitor their internet use, tell YOU how to parent them, get involved with their school (that needs to stop yesterday) and she certainly doesn't have to know all about their lives. You don't need to share everything with her...she is not the parent. You are. Do not allow her to belittle your decisions. In fact, it may be a good idea, to stop telling her about your decisions. Hugs and good luck :) [/QUOTE]
