[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 195732, member: 84"] Heather Bare in mind I haven't read all of the responses....... The senerio you just described zapped me back 5 yrs in time, I swear. lol I can laugh because that phase has passed. But my Mom is/was the same way with my kids. (not so much now they're grown) easy child and Travis could do no wrong and everything Nichole did was horrible. (mostly cuz they didn't get along in the first place) Put in the Goth stage, and oh yeah, it got interesting. One solid rule my kids have got concerning grandma, no disrespect allowed. Other than that they were allowed to express themselves freely. Which, of course to my Mom is the worst thing in the world. I don't referee. Never have. Only time I stepped in was when I noticed my Mom deliberately showing the older two with afftection and ignoring Nichole. Then she was told to fake it like she wanted an Oscar, or she'd not be seeing any of them again. And that was the end of that. How do I deal with it? My Mom is my Mom. I can't change her. No one can. She is who she is, both the good and the bad. Awful that the bad outwieghs the good, but what can ya do? Now that the kids are grown they also have learned to just accept her as she is, and let the rest run in one ear and out the other. Sorry she's sticking you in the middle. Just refuse to be there. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
