Who is this woman? Like, really? I'd be so in wonder to meet her. She blows my freakin' mind from what you tell us. So sorry you have to deal with such b.s.
Soooo....there's this thing called the scold's bridle (got it from a book). While it was probably used to shush any outspoken woman of her time, sometimes, in very special cases, a lady just has it coming.
Guys, I think she is incapable of praising anyone unless it's to make a comparison. Everyone else's achievement, house, salary, car or kids are better.
I am sorry Prim!! You could maybe start highlghting any errors (spelling, punctuation or whatever) in her emails and send them back with no other comments. Of course that only works if there are any.
@RoRo10733 : you'd think a tongue lashing would fix something. I've had sharp words with her & she just ignores me. Either that or she will call me irrational & a bad parent. My husband has even tried to tell her to STFU. She just gets sullen & butthurt.
Then we endure email insanity & long rambling phone freak outs. Most of which we delete. The woman thinks the world should operate a certain way & all other methods are inferior.
She thinks she is helping even when you tell her outright she is not. It's an experience in the 18th circle of hell.
Seriously, you are way too nice to keep including her in your lives. You will be rewarded somehow. When she will be gone, you won't have any regrets and that's the best part of it because you'll know you always did what you could to be nice and it was not on your side to make things better.
Now, after my very 'mature' comment... next time tell her to go F herself!

ETA: Just read the playground PSA now. I honestly wasn't trying to make a tasteless joke.
I would end up saying something. I tend to be quit vocal and can only deal with so much. Sometimes a sharp tongue can help a situation.

Ask for pictures of her and then criticize ridiculous things about them that she has no control over.
I wish for her to step in many piles of steaming dog shit this spring.
Sorry you have to deal with BSC. So not cool.
