Ditto, Diana! MIL is losing her short-term memory very fast and seems to be confusing recent things with past things. My worst thing with her lately is that she demands so much from my hubby, since FIL died. She pushed him around and it seems now she needs somebody else to push, so it's hubby and me. She actually called me to order flowers (from her) for MY Mother's funeral and has never even offered condolences. She never calls her other DIL to do anything. I really don't want her in my house. Hubby understands and is extra nice to me when she's here.

It's because of guilt!!! My husband is the same way when I have to deal with his mother, which isn't very often.

I've had MIL, sister +6 kiddos from Louisiana, and today my 9yo g-daughter - I'm almost ready to go back to work. No, I've really enjoyed having my sis here. They evacuated here and aren't going home until their power is back on.

Well hopefully Sandy it won't be much longer. So glad the damage wasn't any worse than what it was. Glad to hear your family is safe.

I'm glad to hear that everyone is safe too. You're a good sister, DIL, aunt, and grandmother to let everyone come and stay with you! It probably helped having the others there so your MIL couldn't make too many demands.
