    Okay seriously I fracking hate it when my mom says, "But why don't you just," "But if you explain...", "or i you do...."

    She seems to have completely blanked out my entire childhood and what us kids were like.

    One if it is something that works I have been doing it so the fact it's not working this second doesn't mean you need to jump in with "advice" to do what you just freaking saw me do.

    Two If it is soemthing that doesn't work I have tried it at least a couple of times but guess what it doesn't work.

    Three why have you completely forgotten how kids act? You raised 4 children. I repeat 4 kids. Why then do you suddenly not know how to raise kids? Why is your advice often completely opposite of anything you ever did and even advocates failed experiments on your part.

    Anyone else have grandparents that have forgotten they were ever parents?

    How does she react if you tell her what she did in raising you?
    "My in-laws are country people and at night you can hear their distinctive howl."

      "I don't remember that" in the "so it didn't happen" tone of voice.

          My father is like that. It seems he's blocked out all the abuse he's ever put my mother and I through. I doubt I'll ever give him the chance to give me parenting advise.

            My mom was raised by probably the most mentally abusive person I've ever heard of.

            And, unfortunately, there are times, you can see a bit in her character that sounds just like the stories she's told of this person. Nowhere near as extreme, but there's something awful there.

            And she denies any of it. She's not like her horrible grandmother was. Not at all. She's a better person, and never manipulates or starts fights for no reason.

              My favorite example of it not from my own life but from an episode of Friend's.

              Monica's mom is talking about how her own mother was so critical about everything always bashing on her for one thing or another and she hated it. Less than a second later she is being critical of Monica and bashing her for one little thing.
