I don't smoke or do drugs, and I work full-time. After my divorce, Mom helped me get back on my feet. We were pals. I took her every- where, and we did everything together. Life was great. Now she criticize me and puts me donw in front of my children. It's hard enough to get respect from your children these days without having your own moth- er diminish you by making cut- ting remarks. That's not the_worst of it. Mom idolizes my son and prac- tically ignores my daughter. She is always buying gifts for “Bruce” and sneaking them to him behind my back. My daughter is aware tht her Delivery or Pick up 365-5304 by Bill Watterson brothe rgets special from “Grandma,” and this has created some hard feelings. Meanwhile, Bruce is so depen- dent on his grandmother that it firghtens me. He is on the phone with her constantly. I don't want him to be a “grand- ma'‘s boy,” but it looks as if he is headed in that direction. I have talked to my mother about my fears and have asked her to back off. Naturally, she denies that she is doing any- thing wrong. I know I'm also at fault here for not seeing this problem sooner. Is this a normal relationship between a teen-age boy and his grandmother? I have the feel- ing it isn't, and I need to know what to do about it. — Unsure in San Bernardino. Dear San Bernardino: Nor- mal? No. Your mother has a generational problem. She was your “pal” in the early days, and now she is trying to be too close to her grandson. The best solution is to try to get an uncle, teacher or some male to take Grandma's place in Bruce's life.
