I don't think the responsibility should be on the child to decide what to keep from mommy or what to hide from daddy.
Kids should feel comfortable in their homes...both of them..the freedom to talk about the other parent shows maturity on the part of the listening adult..
That said..Char's daughters are grown, they have to KNOW that talking about their mother makes Char uncomfortable..in that case, they aren't being very mature about their conversations...
With all things being equal, children, adult or otherwise, shouldn't have to act like the other parent doesn't exist...its a reality that it took two people to make that child who at one point, felt kindly towards each other...
I wouldn't tolerate a child, adult or otherwise, using the other parent to be hateful or condescending to me, or actively comparing households, etc etc... but to NOT be able to say something that involves the other parent...? To not be able to mention her in a passing conversation...? is just not very realistic...and believe it or not, I've defended her on a few occasions that taught my SC's that it was uncool to play both ends to the middle and it wouldn't happen in our house...if its important..tell us, but otherwise, keep it respectful...
