[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 507317"] Hey DDD. just checking in over here. Home sick, watching lots and lots of TC and was watching Dr. Phil yesterday. Had an Oprah AHA moment when he said to a difficult child: "[COLOR=#333333]How much does your mother miss the old you?"[/COLOR] difficult child[COLOR=#333333] acknowledges a lot[/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333]"So if you show her the old you, she gets what she wants and you can lead her anywhere"[/COLOR] difficult child[COLOR=#333333] nods and validates that she manipulates her mom by being her old self once in a while.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333]Ouch[/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333]Hate to be so jaded that I think she is buttering you up for something...but I think she is buttering you up for something. She may be just seeking some narcissistic feed from you. I definitely agree that a mother daughter lunch is preferable. In fact, if it can be arranged - I would meet her OUT for lunch and if all goes well - do the house tour after lunch. And if you don't like where things are heading, check your voice mail, find out there's an emergency at work and off you go. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
