Since you even asked her if it was okay to lower your payments and she said it was I don't see what right she has to be upset. And believe it or not I'd call her on it. Passive aggressive people don't improve in their behavior. They just get worse. So it's best to get it out in the open. But, you have to go about it in a certain way.

Here's one way to approach her. Start by saying you have noticed that she has seemed upset about something and you are worried about her. See if she tells you why she is upset with you. If not, ask her outright if you have done anything to offend her cause you sure wouldn't want to be the cause of her upset. Now we all know she is has no right to be upset but don't tell her that. Don't attack her or tell her how upset you are about her behavior or you will get no where with her. What you want is a grandmother who is loving and involved in the kids and your life.

Once you pamper her past getting it out in the open things should get a bit better.

Some people are just not mature enough to handle proper communication with people. Know that is her weakness so try to find some of her stronger points to love. We all have our faults but we hope people will love us in spite of them. Some people are much harder to love than other though. LOL!

Good luck!

Diane
