[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are drowning in a glass of your own bile, don't do that to yourself.  The lady is obviously trying to do something nice, to be helpful.  It is easy to feel useless when you are at  someone else's home and most people want to help anyway they can.  Just thank her for picking up your mail everyday, tell her that it is very nice of her and ask her if she would mind not throwing away anything because you like reading some of the "junk".  That's it.  My MIL stays at our home for a whole month once a year.  It sucks, I hate having someone just there all the time, but it is what it is.  The first year she tried to be helpful by doing laundry, but she just made a mess, so the second year I kindly told her that I rather do the laundry.  My husband is a mama's boy so he told her she could do his laundry and every year she manages to turn his whites to pink LOL  But she is happy doing laundry and my husband is happy that she is happy.  Some of the things she does and messes she makes I just have to grin and think happy thoughts because she is an older lady and I hope when I'm older my children's spouses will treat me with kindness and respect.  You get what you give, so be kind to her.[/quote]
