[quote=Anonymous]OP, you sound lovely. We need more people in this world that truly care about others! My recommendation is to stop prying into her life as much and attempt to keep the conversations focused on the children. If she comes to you with a personal complaint/frustration, give her a short sympathetic response (as you might do with a toddler - not meant in a rude way). If she asks for help with a personal matter, be direct with her; tell her that you feel like you are wasting you time to help her because she does not follow through and that it is extremely frustrating for you. Agree to help only if she promises to follow through. Ask her to take notes during the process of whatever you’re doing or steps for what’s next, you also take notes and compare. Show her how to make a checklist (when/if you help her with something). Let go of her going to the ER, you cannot change people, unfortunately. When she shows you the bill, tell her, “Yes, I know the ER is extremely expensive, AND I’ve told you so you also know. Here is the location of urgent care, which only has a $50-100 copay.” [/quote]
