[quote=Anonymous]My almost 90 year old grandmother is not quite halfway through a 2 week stay with us while my parents are out of the country (she normally lives with them). I love her very much and am happy she can spend time with is and my children but I'm not sure I can take her for another week without blowing something. She means well I know but she is SO critical if everything. She has an opinion about literally everything and after a week of hearing comments on everything from how much the children eat, how much butter we put on their toast, what time they go to bed etc I'm seriously trying hard to stay calm. She ignores everything I ask her not to do. For example, last night DS didn't finish his dinner because he was full so she brought it into the playroom after dinner and kept feeding it to him while he was distracted despite the fact that I asked her not to do that. For breakfast she actually took their bread and wiped off the butter because she decided it was too much. I just bought DC some sandals but they were too big. She told me 10 times "you need to buy him different shoes" despite the fact that after I tried them on and realized they were too big I told DC I'd exchange them. I know it might seem like I'm being petty but multiply that 1 incident by 120 and that's about how many time something like that happens in a day. Because she's 90 years old I'm trying to be respectful but my patience is wearing thin. Please, does anyone have any suggestions for how to get through the next week?[/quote]
