consantly criticises everyone, is never happy about anything and moans all the time. She's 80, independant although frail. I try my best to see her every fortnight for a few days [I live 300 miles away] and my brother does what he can but he's got a demanding job and a young family. My other brother hardly does anything cos mum can't stand his wife so can't blame him really. Its got to the point now where I just wish she would quietly go away as the constant nastiness is wearing me down when I speak to her [3 or 4 times a week]. She now wants to come and spend a week wih me but I know she finds my flat cold, cramped and anything else she can complain about. I want her to stay in a b&b 3 doors away but then it'll be 'you don't want me in your house'. I've also got to work, and she knows this, the week she'll be here but she'll moan about that too. Any suggestions on how to cope without the aid of barcadi or other stuff?? I don't want to fall out with her at her age.
