It's my dm. I just can't figure it out, I just feel bad most of the time around her and guilty for feeling it..
Examples are -
She brought a new arcade type game for my two children, they all
Played it and dm is very competitive. I was watching TV and she wanted me to do it. She had beaten the two kids (age 4 and 8 ) and I just had a go and got a great score. All throughout she kept saying "is it working? It
Must be faulty it can't be right" - she was really annoyed by my score whereas the kids were saying well done mum
My son didn't get round the writing her a Xmas card as he was fed up of it so she said " oh no you haven't written a card for poor grandma" then kept going on about cards he had from class mates and saying how well they could write. Also later in the day she had a bag of crisps. He asked for one and she replied "oh you didn't write me a card but now you want a crisp..."
We moved into our new house, I was making my daughter feel better by saying a friend wanted to come and play, my mum says "oh poor grandma I will be the last person to see your new house..."
The list goes on. Today after we had stopped the night she was downstairs with them saying " what am I going to do without you? I'm going to
Miss you..." It went on and on and I could t stand hearing my dd reassure her anymore that I flew downstairs and said enough of this it's not fair on the kids it
Makes them feel bad when we leave... She said she was only playing and could t see what she had done wrong, she was off with me and said she wouldn't do it again.
She thinks I'm really uptight etc but I find the the way she is as being emotionally unhealthy.
Is it me?
