[quote=Anonymous]This is common old people behavior.

My MIL is even worse. She will not give any advance notice when she “visits”. She will not listen when we gave her our schedule of when we wouldn’t be available. Nope, we would simply get a text the day or two before hand that she is arriving on Tuesday. She would never answer what time, what do you expect or when are you leaving. Nope, too up in the air for her. She would arrive maybe on Tuesday or maybe on Wednesday and then fully expect either DH or I be available to drive her around, let her just take a car ( which would be returned with dents, trash inside, days later as she’d use to visit or travel elsewhere on her whim without paying for a rental) and she’d expect the kids to cancel their plans. We contorted ourselves, took last minute leave, kids missed practice or canceled planned activities..all to participate in the Granny Show.

We tried the don’t do this as we may not available. She ignored us. We then just had enough. The next time she pulled this, we made no changes. We didn’t take off work, the kids were not around, she had to take an uber to our house. The uber was expensive too as despite our previous pleading to fly into the airport 15 minutes from us, she could save $30 flying into the one 90 minutes, over 2 hours with rush hour. She pouted that DH went into the office. She sneered when I couldn’t cancel WFH conference calls to drive her around and when I went into the office. She acted aghast that the kids went to their EC meetings and practices. DH didn’t give her a car as he had told her the last time he wouldn’t do it again. [/quote]
