Look I swear I am at the end of my frigging rope with her.

Pardon my language but ARGhdfkjhkjghdjhajkhgsjdfklhdlskjf

We went downtown today and she got all in a huff because I asked her to hold the baby, started cursing and hollering in public, and I told her to stop being angry when shes around the baby because it makes him upset.

Well she said she wouldnt stop and that she just wouldnt be around him if she couldnt curse (how SELFISH and CONCEITED and NARCISSISTIC and other things I wont say)because, she is "57 years old" and I guess that she thinks that she can do whatever she wants because shes 57. PErsonally dont get that logic. Whatever, shes going to be that way I cant stop her and shes not going to upset Jeremy because she cant control herself.

Argghhhh!

Vent away!!
I think you have every right to be upset. An adult, no matter what their age, should be respectful of children.

If your mother is a narcissist, there is no logic other than what they want. Don't even try to figure out her reasoning. And, don't try to waste your energy getting her to change.

IMHO, your anger is there for a reason, to protect your child. Listen to that anger, and do what you know is right.

(((((Rain))))) I’m sorry, your mother doesn’t sound like grandmother material. Sometimes people surprise us, my Aunt was a very verbally abusive mother. I had to stay there when my mom had strep throat when I was about 10. My cousin and I went into the kitchen to eat some cereal in the morning, her parents had gone out the night before. My cousin called over her shoulder “what kind do you want”; my Aunt came out of her bedroom and screamed at her (she was 5) “if you don’t quiet down I’m going to slap your ugly f@%&ing face!” and she went back to bed.

1) my cousin has been beautiful since birth. Went through an awkward stage for about a minute when her big teeth came in. She worked as a model to put herself through college. 2) I’d never heard such a thing in my entire life before (f word). My parents were pretty heavy handed with discipline, but were not verbally abusive.

But she surprised us all when she became a grandmother. A more loving person you’d never find. And while her children were not permitted in the living room because of the breakables, she put them up for her grandchildren and made the room child friendly.

Hope your mom shapes up!
