Just wondered if anyone else has a mother like this? We've just had an awful couple of hours. Took her to see a show as we had a spare ticket, so in her mind she's doing US a favour. She didn't offer to buy a drink, a programme, an ice cream, she hasn't interacted with her grandson (12) on any level
She just complained, and niggled.
I'm so sick of trying to do nice things and getting no where.
Dad died last June and she's just been on the pity train, which sounds mean but she's been on the pity train my entire life.
I lost my dad but my pain is irrelevant.
If she'd offered a drink or something to my son, or been enthusiastic, or even interested it would've been nice. But no. Fuck all.
I'm all she's got. Only child. She's no friends ( hardly suprising, I can't stand being with her usually).
Took her home, not even a thankyou.
We were clapping along at one point & she looks at me as if I'm crazy.
I really despise her. Only see her thru duty & cox I promised dad we'd look after her.

My mum is like this.

I am now no contact with her. I, and my DS, are much happier for it.

Every other day - are you trying to send yourself insane?????

When she complains about not seeing as you much please be truthful and tell her it's because all she does is complain and seems determined to be miserable and you've had enough of it...

Worst that can happen is that she strops off in a sulk for a few weeks!
