Hi all, my mother is in her 80's and she has become quite difficult. She has no filters when it comes to opening her mouth.

For example, today I was talking about my son and his girlfriend. She says she cannot remember her name (Sophie) so has decided to use 'sofa' instead. I am mortified that she will use this word when addressing her.

I warned her not to call her 'sofa', not on my watch, but she seems to like making mischief and has nothing good to say about anyone.

I'm finding it quite stressful with her these days.

My daughter's mother-in-law has never been particularly nice but for the past year she has been an absolute nightmare. She is particularly nasty to her lovely husband who is 90 and looks after her. The family got her into a home when he went into hospital with heart trouble but he took her back home once he had recovered. She is usually rude to everyone and my s.i.l says his wife deserves a medal for visitimg her. My grandson took his Japanese girlfriend to see her, much to the family's trepidation, but it seems she found favour, as since then the old biddy keeps on about how the Japanese look after their parents.
