[quote=Anonymous]Yes, it's pretty hard to find a way to ask a genuine question here without it going off the rails in a dozen different directions. I'm an MB who'd love to get some advice here today but I know I can't handle the inevitable accompanying backlash. Re your MB - it sounds like she's just a needy, dependent kind of person. She's out of line, consistently and repeatedly, and yet she is undeterred. I don't really know that there is much you can do about except perhaps to address it head on. "Can I talk to you about something? I feel like I'm always saying no to you for these various additional requests, and I really hate having to do that. I just am not able to accommodate all of these things and still feel like I can do my job well, or comfortably." Try to say that when the husband is present also so he can (hopefully) help mitigate/regulate his wife a bit. Or, you may need to look elsewhere. I would find it really draining, and eventually infuriating. [/quote]
