I have had a lot of negativity in my life from being a "nice" daughter who has put up with all forms of manipulation from my mother. The situation between us has been, at one point, eerily similar to yours.
The truth is that it's hard to imagine for people who have grown up with good, loving, supportive parents just how frustrating something like this can be. My mother was also very sweet at one point, but changed her behavior so drastically she's a totally different person now.
Don't let your quality of life suffer because you feel obligated to take care of your mother who doesn't seem to have any appreciation for your efforts. Sit her down, make her understand where you are coming from (without yelling or getting angry), and implore her to try and make more effort while she is staying with you. If she doesn't, then show her the way out.
I Probably wont be able to do that because i'm already to the point were i'm crying over it and if one thing is said that i don't like i will probably blow up on both of them.. just like this stupid boiled peanut situation which is nothing to get pissed about, but when you're at the end of your rope, any thing, at any given point can set you off.
But the sad thing is, i will probably heat up her dinner before she gets home so it will be hot for her when she walks in... Every night i say i'm not going to do that, but i always do.
