[quote=Anonymous]my MIL sounds a lot like yours - no friends, no spouse, very needy. The difference is that she lives a plane flight away. Oh, and my husband is her only child, so our family is all she has in the world. This became a much bigger issue when we had kids - and I am part of the problem. I am a bit controlling and don't like to compromise time with my parents and siblings, so MIL tends to join our gatherings. But it is what it is. We have dealt with this by mostly having her come for short visits, 4 nights max, a few times a year and my husband brings our kids - or some combo of them - to visit her twice a year for several days. I have 3 sons and I will do everything in my power to make sure that I don't put this kind of strain on my kids. [/quote]
