[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope, not worth the stress or the aggravation to me. I would just hire real help if I needed it because this “help” comes with too much mental drain that you now have to manage. I would reduce these visits to 2-3 times a year at most and give her an absolute deadline as others have mentioned. If she’s not there within 30 minutes of planned arrival time, I would send a text and say “I couldn’t wait any longer and left for my appointment with the kids. Looks like today did it work out. We can try again next time.” And then do not respond to any further texts or calls until late evening or the next day. Then she can contact the son she raised to arrange any visits.[/quote] +1 She will not change. Don't make plans around her. On days she is planning to come, have the kids watch a movie and if she comes she comes, if not, kids can continue watching the movie. Or, if you are doing an activity/going out with the kids go, and she can join you there if she makes it.[/quote]
