She sounds like my mother in law. Her opinion is the only one that matters, she's never done anything for anyone out of goodness, she's selfish, self centered, and I can go on as I've had over 40 years worth of her bile. She talks down to everyone and bad mouths them even when they can hear it. Imagine my suprise when she asked why no one calls or writes her--she doesn't call or write to anyone. "I never hear from any of our friend"--they were his friends not hers. No one in the family can stand her. She's been living with us for 19 months now and I can't wait till she's gone. Nothing I cook is ever good enough. I bought a condo to put her in when we moved here 5 years ago and was going over twice a day to cook, clean, do laundry, shop, etc., and not once did I ever get a "thank you" and that was 20 miles each way or 80 total 7 days a week. I had to replace the carpet as she got hair dye all over, replace the stove and microwave--guess which oven she put plastic in and which one an aluminum pan in. Also ruined the counter top. Take heart that your not alone in your plight. If she keeps on like that, none of your kids will want to be around her either--my children can't stand her. Well, I feel better, but a Black and Tan Sundae sounds best.
