[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 546725, member: 1550"] A question as a grandmother and a four X mother. Why would you send the evaluation to your mother whom you so seldom agree with? My opinion is, rather than denying any of your kids "grandma time" (if they enjoy it) is to just not share these things with her. As good as I am at biting my tongue, it is hard for me not to give my two cents to my grown kids. I am really good about not doing it, but this woman is still your mother and the natural instinct is to give you her two cents...if you give her something to talk about. I would just not bring up the problems with your youngest to her. It isn't her problem; it's yours and she obviously gets you angry. Kind of keep things light...talk about the weather and other non-confrontational issues. That's exactly what I have to do with my father and it's much better! :) [/QUOTE]
