[quote=Anonymous]You don’t get to this behavior suddenly. It’s been happening all along and now you’re just annoyed enough to actually admit it and write about it.

If I were to drop into your house and coach you, I’d tell you to simply let this go. Don’t ask, whine or cajole. Then you wait. It may take a few days.  She will ask for a ride somewhere or money to buy something. Say “I’ll get to it.” Then put some headphones on and laugh like a bird. When she comes at you again, just respond in your calmest, most controlled stance. “Yeah, I’m just not feeling it right now. I’ve repeatedly asked you to help out around here. We had that Passover dinner, and you laughed in my face when I asked for help with cleaning and cooking. I’m done being your servant. Figure out how you can get a ride or buy your own clothes or whatever. I’ve shut down all credit card access for you and am contemplating taking you off our phone plan. I’m going for a walk right now.” Then leave.

The less you talk and engage with her, the better.

Make sure your spouse is 1000% on board. [/quote]
