My mother is behaving badly these days and it is frustrating dealing with a 73 year old woman who acts like a 6 years old spoiled brat.

At some point my mom started behaving like a kid too. I could not reason with her about various issues. But this proved to be just the beginning of Pick's Disease. She went from working as a pharmacist to having to be placed in a hospital in about 7 years.

I hope this is not your mom's case, but be careful to the signs.

That's most unfortunate Teo.
But with my Mom it's more misplaced pride and attachment that is impeding her happiness.
We are being very gentle with her and she is being very stubborn and often times childish and rude.

Re: moms. You will always be her "baby", no matter how old or grown up you think you are. Try to understand. As far as being childish and rude, that's the way you were once for her, and now it's your turn to take it. One day, it may be you. If you're lucky, there'll be people there ready to put up with it. Believe me, once she's not there, you'll wish you had. [Edit] And, you will never regret that you did.
