[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are just creating issues where they don’t need to exist. You said yourself she left the house with your not knowing she was there. She’s not trashing the place, forgetting to lock the door, or doing much of anything probably. I imagine she uses the bathroom, takes a cat nap or watches tv on the couch, drinks some water or grabs a soda and leaves. That’s what mine usually does. Stop making it an issue and let her in. I would much rather give my mother a key than have her drive back home if she needs a rest. That’s just terrible for you not to be mindful of her safety and well-being as she gets older. [/quote]

Just hope your MIL doesn’t have an accident driving home. You’ll end up taking care of her and everyday wishing you had just given her the code.[/quote]

This comment is passive aggressive guilt tripping.

If MIL wants to stop by whenever for a break all she has to do is ask “hey, I’m really sorry I didn’t ask earlier. I realize now I was mindlessly making an assumption and I can understand why it would make you feel uncomfortable and disrespected. I’m sorry I never asked you and I don’t want to make you feel that way. Would you mind if I used your house for a bathroom or rest break if you are oot and I happen to be in the neighborhood.”

Son and dil : “thank you for your apology and understanding what went wrong here. Of course you can use our bathroom if we are oot and you are nearby. Here is a special code just for you.”
