lol..yes umlemle....i face that situation every day!!!!!!!!!1lol....
here are a few tips ..hope they helps
first-----nothing would really help ur mom..even though she would sympathise with u ..yet at her age she wont put u pwith the kids n the exhaustion..s oleave it at that
second----spend some quality time with her lets say an hr each day n when she comp;lains then scold the kids in front of her gently n let them know that it upsets u n that thwy should listen n respect here
third ....try doing something she really likes..like my mom loves t obe showered with gifts..so i try to buy something for her to make her happy
fourth-----get a little thick skinned!!!!.....even if she grumbles..pack ur books n g ot our corner/library to study n deal wit hthe complaints later on
all of the above wont really decrease the back fire..but it would make u feel a lot better and in return u would be able to habdle the emotional stress
get ur hubby involved!!!...i know this noe is not recommended but it worked for me ..after i tol him how tired mom gets n then how frustrating ti gets for me,he stopped asking me to ask my mom to help.instead he started voluntaring to help!!!Smile))
let me know how things turn out with u n if any of the above works out!!

@lookingup..ur suggestions r so gud & doable too.I don't spend any quality time wid her as she is always negative abt things as i have a very bad experience with my in laws so she keeps talking abt them & i don't want to do that as it took 2yrs to cope up wid the bittterness & learn how to block them from my memory so she thinks i am mean too her lol...
I got her sewing machine so she keeps herself busy wid that..
my hubby works from home so he has seen that she hardly helps me & he was upset abt it..& i covered it pretty nicely ..
i keep telling kids abt to follow directions & respect & listen to her but my mom doesn't take that much interest either..
so let's see how it will work..i will try..
thnx again for ur time & ur tips r really good.
