    So we got good advice on kids throwing tantrums I want good advice on mothers who throw tantrums. She lives in my house, meaner than a snake, and out weighs me by 40lbs (plus that whole stepdad in your face for disrespecting your mother thing-which btw HAS NEVER HAPPENED..cough*) Points for creative answers...cuz shes not gonna leave....so time to figure out torture techniques (yes i am kidding, she is only 66 and has her wits about here, mostly)

    Is there any truth to the saying that children are a reflection of their parents?

    Send her there. It's like an orgy for old people. I'm positive it'll put her in a better mood.

    Put out a new candy dish filled with unwrapped sugar-free chocolates. When they disappear into her room in the middle of the night, she'll end up in the bathroom for the foreseeable future and you'll have some peace & quiet.

    I'm appalled at your attitude toward your mother. She gave you life! She endured your tantrums as a child. I say turn about is fair play here. You should be ashamed of yourself!

    LOL, this sounds like exactly how my MIL would try to guilt trip my husband, but that woman is NEVER living with us. I'm sorry but I've seen how she shreds my husbands emotions and I won't have her in my home doing that to him.

    However, since your mom (and step dad, yikes) are already there, all I can say is, GOOD LUCK!
    Lol THIS!!!
    Just because your mother gave birth to your and took care of you as a kid, doesn't make it okay for her to take her anger out on you or treat you as a punching bag.

    How did she end up living with you? I know it is none of our business but just thinking she sounds horrific and maybe that was a bad choice...isn't there some way you could transition her (and the stepdad) out, into (if applicable) low income housing for seniors or SOMEPLACE that isn't your house?

    You're just going to eat popcorn while people bad mouth your mother like this????

    Cool. Scoot over and share that popcorn. :laugh:

    Leave out a bunch of sugar free snacks in one room, then lock yourself in another. She'll be occupied for hours.

    Nah, fat free gummy bears.

    That'll teach her.

    Sugar free not fat free. They sale them on amazon. Only problem is she will blow up your bathroom and if you are the one cleaning it. ...Yucky!

    You need to establish the boundary that this is your house and she is a guest in it. Point out who moved in with whom.

    You could also video or audio to record a tantrum

    oh you should DEFINITELY do this.

    I have recorded tantrums before.

    Now that you've made this thread you better guard her life with your own because if anything strange ever happens to her, you're going to end up in jail for a very long time, even if you had nothing to do with it at all.

    Enjoy your new, close, protective relationship! :tongue:

    Fog horn - every time she opens her mouth

    *BLLLAAAAAATTTTTTTT* Sorry, didn't hear you.....

    I said... *BBBLLLLAAAAAATTTTTT*

    While she is asleep, hide the remote - replace w/ GIANT version and HIDE all the AA's - works best if you have Netflix / DVD / VCR and a Barney video (Telletubbies will work as well) to turn on first. Oh yes, an a pair of ear plugs for yourself.

    THIS. :drinker:

    Haha my advice actually goes both ways. You are an adult, kick her out. No respect, no home. Pretty sure that is a universal rule with families and everyone is over the age of 18. :wink:

    I totally agree in 99% of situations and this definitely sounds like one of them.

    I really need to learn to stop giving sincere advice in these threads.

    My mom and dad moved to France. When they come back to the UK they stay at my house.
    The very first time they did I told them the following:
    My house my rules, If you are going to be late for dinner a phone call would be expected and no hanky panky under my roof... HahahaHahaha
    My mom told me to p##s off lol

    While it was said in jest, there is an e element of truth to it.
    If your mom and step dad respected you, they wouldn't treat you this way.
    I think you need to put your foot down and be brutal.
