[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 559137, member: 84"] I would bluntly remind mother in law that this has [B]nothing[/B] to do with her and [B]everything[/B] to do with celebrating difficult child's accomplishment. She can either participate or not. This is difficult child's moment to shine, the kid should be able to enjoy his moment the way he wants, not be miserable at some huge party meant to show him off like a prized cow. A smaller more quaint celebration doesn't prevent her from bragging to everyone she knows or who will listen, which is a grandparents right. Dementia? Maybe some early signs. But probably not since this is somewhat normal behavior for her. For some personality flaws intensify as they age and can grow even worse as they feel it is their right (due to age) to say whatever they happen to think regardless of the consequences. Be proud of difficult child. Personally, I'd smile that mother in law has a thorn in her side (I'm odd I know), and enjoy the moment as it only comes once. Way To Go difficult child!!! Hugs [/QUOTE]
