[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the hoarded mess in the unfinished basement of my IL’s house of 45 years. MIL with dementia is allowed full unfettered access to the basement and picks her way up and down these stairs several times a day to “look around.” I’m the scolding, controlling DIL who recommended door locks, alarms and suggesting professional care be brought in … over a year ago. [/quote] And it will still be your fault when she inevitably falls down the stairs or trips over the junk. I’m the controlling wife who is not allowing visits to the MIL who is perfectly capable or traveling or her son is perfectly capable and has no restrictions on making travel plans. I’m working 40 hours a week, doing the bulk of the housework while he scrolls his phone 10 hours a day as and is in bed another 10. He can make the travel plans to see his parents. [/quote]
