So let me first say that I'm pretty sure that it's not just pregnancy hormones 39 weeks this Thursday. My mother has been driving me nuts lately. My dad says she starting to get dementia-mania. She is close to 70. The dementia thing that has me concerned is how she couldn't recite the abcs to my son.

She has become extremely bossy and has to get her way lately or all she does is nag you to death. Luckily I live 1.5 hrs away so I don't have to deal with this in person. My dad has had the brunt of this.

She calls me every day to talk. I really don't want to talk to her that much but don't want to hurt her feelings or get yelled at more. My sister lives in Vermont and doesn't deal with this much as we both live in NY.

Last time she visited we went in our pool. I only have a tanki and a bikini bottom that fit me so I gloppped up with sunscreen. She yelled at me the whole time I was in the pool your gonna get burned. I finally said go away I'm trying to have fun with my husband and 2yr old.

Todays argument was that I haven't got my covid shot because I'm waiting till after baby is born. She said well I'm going to drive you to get it. I said hey can I have this baby first and see how I feel. My baby is transverse and I might need a c section which I did not have with my son. I'm sorry but I'm not going the week after having a baby to get a damn shot. She also was nagging me because I'm not coming to visit her anytime soon. Like sorry I'm going to have another baby I don't have time or energy to drive 1.5hrs in the car.

My husband kinda hates her. He says I should stop all communication from her when she acts like this. She is rude to my husband but she is to everyone. Example she brings my dogs milk bone dog treats and keeps giving them tons. My dogs often throw up or have gas after she leaves. My husband said constantly stop feeding them so much it makes them sick. She says she doesn't care she's gonna do it anyhow. So my husband took the treats away. Then she got pissy.

I'm just at my breaking point and don't know how to deal with this anymore. I also feel like this is not something I should have to worry about right now.
