[quote=Anonymous]My MIL is almost exactly the same way. My kids are older, teenagers, and they mostly stay in their room to avoid her but do have dinner/breakfast with her. I've tried asking her to do things, because she is always asking to help, but anything I ask her to do in the kitchen is too hard for her and she wants me to stand in there and tell her where everything is or help her. I finally decided that my inlaws are visiting to spend time with their son and grandkids and it is not about me so now DH is much more cognizant that he needs to be with there, in the same room with the inlaws, for the most part during the visit. DH has done this and makes it a lot better. Now I can sneak off to my room and read or watch TV for a little and come down and socialize and then go back up. I also go exercise, do errands, etc when they are here.[/quote]
