[quote=Anonymous]1. Reschedule the trip because she won't get to see her son at all. If that won't work ... 2. Get out of the house. Full, long day trips outside of the house. You eat breakfast and go, and only come back in time to meet DH for dinner. Being in public will make things better. Or .. 3. Put the kids in camp! 4. When going out of the house, arrange to meet up with friends. You'll feel better having an audience for The Crazy. 5. Do not leave her to parent your kids. You want to think she's an adult, so you can relax, but you need to admit to yourself this is not the case. Be blunt with your kids. "Aidan just because Grandma does something wrong it doesn't mean you can too. I WILL punish you if you say that one more time." Then do it. When she objects and says they're just having fun tell her "Alluding to cursing is not the type of fun my kids are allowed to have. If you want to have fun with them, there's sidewalk chalk and bubbles." [/quote]
