My mother's friend from childhood decided to bring up the fact that my children are homeschooled to my mother and thought it would be nice to talk about how worried she was about them "being socialized".

Then my mother decides to say "They do not have one friend, either one of them."  Then she said about how neither one of the kids know math at all and she "fears for their future".   And then apparently she must have told her other friend (the neighbor--although we ALL are neighbors) that I sit around all day on my computer and don't pay attention either child, so that "other friend", we'll call her BM for Big Mouth, chimes in with "She needs to start teaching those kids instead of sitting around on her computer all day long!"

Who the fuck are these people to think they know ONE DAMN THING that goes on in my house?  And her friend is a fucking idiot to bring up anything to my mother at all about my family in the first place.  Her AND her husband were "worried about my kids" but she never says a damn thing to me.  I just LOVE gossips!!  This is why I refuse to take part in gossip anymore.  I am tired of it.  I am tired of the fucking LIES coming out her mouth.

NONE of those things in the 2nd paragraph is true, btw.  Both of my kids have friends in real life and online.  Both of my kids know math and my mother KNOWS that my youngest is a math WIZARD, yet she decided to lie about them both.

Well, that's narcissism for you.  Can't say I was surprised, but I am so sick and tired of her running her damn mouth.

Her dementia is getting worse, and it can't come soon enough.  Everything she says, good or bad, is a manipulation game for her....she's getting something out of it.  And I am tired of having to pretend to put up with her insanity. The moment she gets bad enough to have to be taken care of, is the MOMENT these crazy fucking people are not allowed access to her anymore.  Her childhood friend is fine, although she says annoying things to get things started, she's still fine to be around her.  But BM?  That bitch will be done.

BM is a user...she KNOWS my mother is losing it, so she takes advantage of her over and over for money, rides, cigarettes, food, etc.  And I am so tired of it.  But my mom is a narc with dementia but with enough brainpower to veto me saying BM can't "play at her house anymore".

It's just a waiting game now.  Waiting to get BM out of her life.
