[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Encourage DH to do things solo with his mother. Lunches, Dinners, picking things up at Walmart or the drug store etc He does not have to spend large chunks of time. Consider an hour or 90 minutes each visit. SIL appears to be getting really burnt out and she needs the support.[/quote] Yes! My MIL is extremely boring too, OP. That doesn't mean she has to waste away alone. And it doesn't mean she's solely for SIL to deal with. Introverted people don't suddenly make a bunch of friends as senior citizens. So my husband can and does go visit her alone. I know she doesn't care to see me anyway! You don't need to be there. I feel like you're one of those wives who insists on doing everything together.
