[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel your pain on this one! My MIL was an absolute nut on this. Not only was she constantly asking where he was applying it was clear she was yammering with her friends as they all compared/competed through their grandkids. [b]What finally worked for us was that son talked to her. He told her how hard it was, how stressed he and his friends were but most important of all he told her that if she could talk to him/be in a room with him without interrogating him about College process he couldn't be around her/talk to her until it was all done and over.[/b] That worked, our begging her never did, my BIL and his wife whose daughter is a year older had tried when their daughter had gone through it and hadn't been able to shut her down. The impacted grandchild telling her she was out of line and she was risking their relationship did the trick. [/quote] This is it[/quote]
