Kids give mom more crap because they know that they can show mom their worst side and mom will still love them. That's when mom has to model standing up for herself and setting appropriate boundaries. This is how kids learn about relationships.
Give her the inter-generational curse: I hope that one day you have a child just like you.
Speaking of boundaries, I remember that my Grandfather Smith was unable to set boundaries between my little sister and me when we ended up quarreling at each other. My big sister says that when my Grandmother Smith was alive, she couldn't either with my big brother and my big sister.
