[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, a 73 year old woman is about 60 years too old for the silent treatment behavior. I would tell her that you really enjoy that she visits and you appreciate her effort in trying to help with the yard. And that you are sorry for an outburst -- you are not ungrateful for her help with the yard. Then you should tell her that if she is angry with you, that is understandable but she needs to communicate. You cannot have her being passive aggressive in front of your daughter, as it sets a terrible example, but it seems that will be the way things would have to be if she continues her behavior. Thus, if she would like to avoid communication with you she needs to end her visit. Right away. Tell her you'd be glad to help her pack and see her out. You can drive her to a hotel until she can drive or fly home. Treat her like the badly behaved teenager is she is acting like. Sorry this is stressing you OP. [/quote]
