[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a couple household staff who work for us. When MIL visits, she runs them ragged. She has always been difficult but as she ages and her health declines she has become anxious to the point of exhausting everyone around her. She also says whatever comes into her head which has caused her to make disparaging comments about our employees' appearances and calls them to ask for things when they are not on the clock at our house. We have tried to set boundaries but she persists. How should I handle this situation?[/quote] Boundaries are meaningless unless there are consequences attached to crossing them. It's clear you can't actually force your MIL to stop doing this, so what are you willing to do if she won't? Having to stay at a hotel during the day when you're not home seems like a logical answer, but it sounds like you're not willing to do this.[/quote]
