Adult Mother and Daughter Relationships

[PinkKerPlink]

What are they really like

My Mother flits from treating me like I am 12 years old to treating me like I am her little sister who she is having some weird competition with

just wondered what everyone elses were like

How can I concvince my 18yr daughter with a 1yr son to put ds 1st and not her current boyfriend.she finishes college soon and wants to work, i'm glad as grandson gets good care at nursery.they both live with me,her mess etc is another topic,:(

Having read some of these threads, I think I am very priviledged that the relationship I have and have always had with my mother is wonderful. She's a great mother and grandmother, friend, shoulder to cry on. I appreciate her very much, especially now she is older and some 5000 miles away. Doesn't mean we don't have our moments. But she's always there when I need her

I havent spoken to my mother for a year and a half and life is so much simpler, easier and stress free this way. The lst straw was when she was following my threads on the internet (MN included - I have changed my nick since then) and copying them and sending them to my doctor to say i was an unfit parent.
She's nuts, I tell you, nuts!

my mil, on the other hand, is a saint!

I have a difficult relationship with my mother but it is helped enormously by a shared love of dd
