[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a long story, and I don't want to give too much detail, but basically she has this appointment near my home that she goes to, stays at my house, and goes to another appointment (also near my house) the next day... Then she drives back to hear house (which is a couple of hours away)[/quote]

Can she schedule both appointments on the same day? One morning, one afternoon? Or find a dr closer to her? Is this temporary like physical therapy or permanent? Ask her to move the appointment so the last one is not Friday afternoon and then she won’t be there Saturday.

Regardless of the above you need to get better about boundaries. I don’t let anyone mess with my kids food. She can spoil them with attention. If she’s judgey about your house call her out on it. “Just because you say something hurtful with a smile that doesn’t make it any less hurtful.” Get boundaries. Get blunt. “If you keep saying things like that, I won’t want to welcome you into my home. In this home we’re kind to each other. If you’re going to continue talking to me that way you can get a hotel. I’m not putting up with this in my home anymore. So you have a choice to make.”[/quote]
