[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of these behaviors are irritating, and that's about the extent of it. I actually don't think there's anything to address other than not hanging wet paintings up. She sounds like an old lady that doesn't have a lot of people around to listen to her stories. I'd suggest planning her future visits where your husband is around a good bit of the time and he can take her out with the kids while you "catch up on chores," which can mean actually doing some task or reading a book. Meditate, pray, go exercise every morning. In all honesty, I think you just need a little patience and spousal support.[/quote] +1 This is an opportunity to show some grace. She's not malicious, she's not unkind, she just does stuff you find annoying. Other than the wet painting thing, so what? Find some activities out of the house for everyone, and work on reframing your reaction. [/quote]
