I hated how the mother (Ida) always opened her big mouth and let out secrets. I hated how she interfered with everything. I hated how she criticized everyone. I hated how she pushed in and took over everyone's life. I hated everything about her. But I hated even more that no one in the family had the backbone to stand up to her and let her know what kind of boorish, intrusive, big mouth she was. Family is important but this family allowed themselves to be walked all over.
