[quote=Anonymous]"handle her" ? This is the problem - this is not your problem. You are making it a reflection on you. Don't worry so much about what your children are exposed to - they will learn this is Grandma. It is what it is. Now when you're with her or talking on the phone with her you will always need an escape route. Be able to leave the room (with children) if MIL gets to be too much. No drama, just excuse yourself. Stop looking for explanations. Deal with the now for what it is. No trying to change her. And you can't be disappointed either or mad that she doesn't meet your expectations of a MIL or a Grandmother. Don't allow any of "her feelings" be used to manipulate you.[/quote]
