My nieces (they are 26 and 31) have always called her "miss knowitall", behind her back of course. Was and has not been a very loving grandmother...her motto: I raised mine, I'm done!!!
So she influenced me the most in how not to be!!

I have to say that I also learned how NOT to be from my mother. It doens't sound terrible because I feel the same way. In fact things are so bad that i walked away from it all 10 years ago. I refused to let my daughter be involved in any part of it. So needless to say my mother has never laid eyes on my daughter excpet maybe in pictures that my grandmother has. My mother has abused me, lied to me and everyone all the time. If it is raining out she will lie to your face and tell you it is nice and sunny. She has lied to others about me. She tried to make up lies to break up my marriage. Now I am not the only one she has done this too, there have been others. SOOOO.. Long story short. When I think back she taught me a lot that I never even realized.
