[quote=Anonymous]My MIL lives with us. We re-did a bathroom so she didn't have to step over a ledge to get into the bathtub, and there's a bench to sit down. As long as she takes all her medication she's fine so we're careful about that. I think being around people helps her not get depressed. She can be left home alone for several hours without a problem, probably even all day, but DH prefers not to leave her home alone overnight. She comes with us on vacations or goes to stay with another relative when she doesn't want to come. If she needed hardcore physical help we would hire a nurse's aide or something. It is a very sweet thing to see her teaching the kids how to cook, helping them with homework, calming them down by telling them a story about the olden days, etc. I am not sure why you think a grandparent would get in the way of hosting playdates for your children? She comes with us to run errands or go food shopping when she wants to. [/quote]
