and I see why I am the way I am. I do have a low self-esteem and feel guilty quite often (for little things) I haven't seen her for a wk and it actually felt good. She is constantly judging they way I run my house. She doesn't come out and say it but says little remarks that are sneaky. Today she stopped in and brought some chocolate cake for the kids (I have asked her to cool it on the sugar..doesn't listen 
: and if I get frustrated about it she tells them..Sorry guys..mom doesn't want you to have it) First she sees our new TV. All she says about it is .. "Is it supposed to be that bright?" Then while here she asks "Does Amelie run like that all the time?" My daughter has a lot of energy. She tells me I look tired. I tell her I don't get enough sleep. She says..maybe you should get your blood checked. 
: HELLO!!! I have 4 children under the age of 5 with a newborn included in that. Of course I am tired you moron! She tried to help teach the kids on occasion and I can't stand it! She ALWAYS has to be right and be in control. That doesn't work with teaching a 4yo! My mom was doing the calendar backwards with them. She would ask my daughter what comes before a number. Like what comes before 8. She would say 9. Then my mom would point out that she was wrong. She would say..You are wrong. She is constantly criticizing my house. Her new thing is letting my newborn CIO. She says little comments like.."Oh your brother was a real crier. My mistake was I kept picking him up when he cried." She is always telling me she is fussy because I pick her up when she cries : SHe is 2 months!! I wish she was the type of mom to come and help me out with laundry and the kids once in a while. She lives 5 min from here. But no. She isn't that type of mom. It just teaches me how I want to be with my children. Oh she just infuriates me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for listening. I needed to get it out. I feel better now.
