I need to vent with Moms out there dealing with an overbearing parent. I've always had a difficult relationship with my Mother because she does not respect boundaries or take no for an answer. I've had several talks and fights with her this fall over boundaries and asked her to respect my decisions as a parent, but it has not worked. For example, tonight she filled up my phone with judgemental text messages and her opinion about how she thinks we need to give our daughter Pedialyte while we are preparing for my return to work. We have a baby that won't take a bottle after 10 extremely stressful weeks of trying so many tricks. We are currently following advice from professionals with me leaving her for extended periods. I've repeatedly told my Mom no to her Pedialyte idea for multiple reasons and she keeps fighting my decision. Things like this keep happening and she pushes me to the point that I get mean then she acts like I'm a monster and she is a victim. I am trying to work on my responses to her behavior. How

are the rest of you dealing with overbearing Mothers without losing your mind or temper?
