Nancy, she is SUCH a pain in the ass and all her kids avoid her. She literally calls each of her three (age 40+) "children" at least once a day, sometimes twice.

I sh*t you not.

*I* don't call my husband that much. Because I realize he's, you know, working. Number one. And number two, I trust that he can physically walk across the room without hurting himself and not run out into oncoming traffic or anything. Being 43 years of age and all.

She is all about control, control, control but by God, she is NOT going to control this issue. This is MY child. She had her turn with little kids. Step aside, granny! Time to take off the "I can screw up the kids any way I want" hat. That ship has sailed.

Dear God but I'm a piece of work sometimes. Ugh. But I mean. Really. I'm just done with this garbage. She can throw as many tantrums as she wants, I can handle them, I get them from 8- and 11-year-olds too.
