[quote=Anonymous]Rude MILs have found the thread. OP -ignore the rude posters who say you shouldn't think this is a problem.

Guests who don't leave are no longer welcomed guests IMO.

Next time, have DH get the kids to bed and you shuffle MIL out the door. I have a few relatives like this and we actually no longer invite them over to dinner. Everyone has said good bye, everyone else has left, they have said they are leaving and yet they start in on yet another conversation.

Do not let her start another conversation. Whatever she  says, you simply push off - we can talk about that later or we'll call you next week. When she mentions Oh I forgot to tell you about Uncle BoBo's back problems you just say we need to turn in for the night, another time. Keep avoiding the trap.

When she says she is going, say great I will walk you tp the door walk toward the door.

Chances are that she will act surprised because she will notice that she isn't getting to stay which is what she wants. You just repeat we need to close up for the night, its late. [/quote]
