Dear (((Liz)))!
I have to agree with what Cat said about as mothers, we revel in our children’s accomplishments and successes. I too don’t understand why mothers would be jealous of their children. There is something abnormal with parents that don’t support their children emotionally and financially if there is a legitimate need, and the parent is able to do so. Just keep doing what you’re doing, and pay no mind to your mother’s comments about anything you buy or choose to do with YOUR money. Maybe she thought you should share the money you received after your husband died. People can get really crazy expectations in situations like that. She’s not going to change so send her home like I do with Danny, the first time he misbehaves or says something I don’t like. Or leave her house if you’re there. The yard border you did looks really nice; I saw it on facebook. Carole
