My DM is insistent that she's the 'matriarch' of our family since her DM passed away and the idea fills me with dread because I know what occupying that position means.
My DGM was lovely and lived to almost 100 so obviously that was something to be celebrated, especially when she was the only one of her generation left. DM on the other hand is already going on about us organising a big party for her 70th in 18 months time and I can see her mentally stepping into the role of elderly tyrant family figure who everything revolves around. As we aren't in the cast of Eastenders I can't see the need or place for this sort of role in our family and would like to nip it in the bud before she gets any more ideas. AIBU?
