Ok, this is a tough one, my mom is very self-centered and rude. She met my husbands parents for the first time and she put barely any energy into talking to them or being nice. They are very nice people and didn't deserve the rude undercurrent.
Later, her friends came to visit her at my house and she was a different person, bubbly and happy. Why couldn't she put in the effort for something that's important to me? I love my mom, I buy her everything in sight, treat her very well. Things weren't always good, but I have tried hard to help her and no matter how she acts I always will.
Here's another example - my husband and I feel it's our job to help provide for parents when they are old. We let his parents know they were welcome to live with us if anything happens and they were very appreciative.
When I extended the same invitation to my mom, she barked "I don't want to live with you!" WTF!?
Any thoughts? I'm a nice enough to silently deal, but..help?
