Nugget, I know exactly what you're talking about. My mom is the same way (maybe worse). I went through a divorce a couple years ago and my parents were there to support me, help me watch my kids and help in other ways. Well, I am getting remarried this year. My ex-husband's parents were deceased and his other family members lived in other states and he didn't keep in close contact with them so we spent almost every holiday with my family. Now, my fiance's family live out of town and his 7 year old daughter lives 11 hours away from us. He is extremely close to his family (all of whom I love also). Anyway, he hasn't seen his daughter in several months so we planned a vacation to Florida (where his mom lives) with my two kids and his daughter over the 4th of July. We needed to work around his work schedule, his daughter's camp schedule, etc. and found this to be the perfect time. Well, my mother had a fit. She said she was extremely hurt that we planned this vacation then when we know she always has a big 4th of July picnic (which only includes my family, my sister's family and my aunt). She said she has watched my kids, been there through my divorce and I do this to her! I explained the scheduling issues, etc. and she said "Fine, go spend the holiday with HIS family!" and then hung up on me. Never mind that we spent Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Mother's Day and Father's Day with them. For some reason she is extremely jealous of in-laws. She does the same thing with my sister. Now I'm dealing with her and my ex-husband is taking custody of my 13 year old son next month (by bribing him with dirt bikes, dogs, etc). No wonder I'm have some serious IBS problems lately!!!! Oh well, no matter what, at least I've got a great daughter and fiance to help me through. Good luck to you.
