I'm not trying to take sides, but I am trying to inject some perspective here; for the most part, her days of childrearing responsibility are almost over and it's time for her to nuture HER life as opposed to stricly nuturing those AROUND her.
She's worked all this time to make sure everyone got what they needed and was reasonably happy and now she's spoiling herself. You don't think she deserves it after 20+ years of taking care of other people before herself?
