[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Lock your door. 
2. When she wants to come by to drop something off, say no, you'll come by to pick it up at x o'clock. Then keep the car running and have one of the kids run up to her house to get it and they can say "We can't stay - we're in the middle of running errands."
3. Give less information. Don't tell her when you're heading out, heading on vacation, which night you're going to Red Lobster, etc. [/quote]

I hope you don't have boys.  And if so, expect nothing.[/quote]

I expect that as I age I will continue having a full life with friends, as well as having and respecting boundaries, and picking up on social cues. So, I don't expect any problems! [/quote]

You and all of your friends will be old one day, if you're lucky, and then you will be forgetting how to use the phone to call your friends or forgetting how to answer it when it rings. None of you will be able to have a full life being social. Have fun with the aide your DS and DIL pay for to keep your butt free of urine on a schedule instead of when you need it. She has boundaries, too, and she will keep them -- especially with no loved ones around to check up on you or your aide. Not only does she know how to keep boundaries but she won't give a crap about social cues, either -- you'll be left in bed or parked in front of the tv no matter how much of a clue you try to give her that you want something else, no matter how much time you spend trying to impress on her that YOU have the upper hand goddamn it, not her. She won't read those social cues. Have fun with that, PP.[/quote]
