Amusibus
Proud Parent
My mother is pushy with my daughter about gymnastics. She watched a demonstration they did recently, and after it kept trying to tell her how to kick, point your toes, come over here and show me how you do it right. This kind of thing happens all the time, like after a meet or whenever my daughter is cartwheeling around the house. This drives me crazy. My daughter handles it pretty well, but is not the confrontational type.
My mom doesn't live with us, but is here often, 1 or 2 days a week. I do tell her to stop-it makes no difference. Let me also add that my mother, like my daughter, also has Aspergers syndrome, so does not really comprehend what is appropriate and what is not. She has major socialization difficulties with almost everyone in her life - however in many other ways, she is a great grandma to them, they love each other a lot. She just can't be reasoned with, she does things her way.
Maybe this is more of a vent than anything else, but given the circumstances if anyone has any ideas I'd sure like to hear them. I am out of ideas, frustrated, exhausted.
