[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 161152, member: 1631"] Thanks all! She is very old school. She means well but does drive us crazy at times. She has two daughters, both married, one with two daughters, total pcs, of course. She just has such a hard time understanding him (and not being around much I can understand why-he is difficult and has so many issues). She is very set in her ways and everything has to be a certain way. One time when we were at their house, it was dinner time and difficult child was really getting wound up. We knew if he could just watch a bit of tv we could get him to calm down. She was very upset that we suggested it. I think she felt we were giving in to him. We looked at it as trying to avoid a meltdown. She is one who always believes everything should be eaten on the plate, a battle we have chosen not to fight with difficult child because it truly isn't worth it. That's just a bit of background. There are many more examples. It kind of shows why difficult child doesn't care for her much. Still, that does not in any way excuse difficult child's behavior. As for how she relates to other easy child boys. Probably o.k.-not really sure! Sharon-She is very set in her schedule. The night before I told them what mass I was going to do and asked if they wanted to join me. Neither did. In the morning Dad decided he wanted to go. She was very angry because he didn't tell her the night before so she could get up early enough to go along. She takes a long time to get ready and doesn't really do well with spur of the moment things. The sad thing is that my dad does so well with him and I wish we could see him more often. Although she often sees her daughter without my dad, I get the feeling she wouldn't like my dad doing the same. I really do love her, she means well. It's just frustrating at times. [/QUOTE]
