[quote=Anonymous]MB here.  That's awful - I'm sorry you're being put in this position.

If possible, work up a few lines to say to the grandmother.

Mrs. X - I'm sorry but Jane and John are my bosses - I'm not comfortable having these conversations with you.

I actually think Jane is a great mom and I enjoy working here.  It's really hard for me to hear you talk that way - perhaps we should just steer clear of this topic.

I'm sorry you feel that way but they are my employers.  I think you need to talk to your son.

Etc...

If you can't have that kind of conversation with her then you talk to DB.  He needs to get his mother under control.  You could just say that it seems like his mother has some issues with his wife (this can't possible be a shock to him) and it makes you uncomfortable.  You've asked his mother not to discuss it with you and you really love your job and both of your bosses and don't feel comfortable talking about MB behind her back.  But you don't want to make anything worse.  So if grandmother can't stay off the subject then you'd prefer not to have her visit while you're working.
