[quote=Anonymous]Can MIL drive? Can you get tween to do things with grandma? Hide the things you don't want her to wash. Let her mess with all the other laundry. Don't sit in your car - find a place YOU like to go. Swimming pool? Library? Spa? Mall? Can you go out of town during part of this period? Does she come in your bedroom? If not, retreat to it and watch great t.v. on iPad. Can you make up any distraction projects for her? Like painting a room? Gardening? Pre-negotiate with DH over chores. Have code words for executing them. You need your DH to step up. Not sure why he won't. But see if he'll back you up if you tell her she can't come and go at will. Do you need an inheritance? Probably her MIL was terrible to her and so she's a bully. If you can get your DH to back you, I would be more forceful in insisting she follow your house rules. [/quote]
