[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 530745, member: 1233"] An extra day with difficult child is an awesome Mom's Day gift!!! I would be more worried that my husband didn't see his mom's manipulation in the "I didn't think Susi would mind" garbage statement. She knew. She is testing to see what she is allowed to get away with. You need to just start shutting her down. Tactfully, but if a hint doesn't work then be blunt. "difficult child may have had a problem, but he has worked very hard and is earning top grades and is on the team now. How is loser uncle Mo doing down at the tavern? How many hundreds did you pay on his tab this week?" Yes, that is too blunt, but I am exhausted and fighting a migraine. But you get the drift - just be subtle. Smack her down with a ruler first, not the baseball bat! [/QUOTE]
