[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 295629, member: 1991"] How about this? "whoa mum - STOP! Get the info straight from both sides first. You've heard him, now hear me. You told us he offered to help and we should ask him. So we did - we asked him to help, just this time, for payment, because husband isn't able to do it easily FOR NOW." And so on. Keep it brief. It's probably too late to talk to her about it now, but if she begins to yell at you without hearing your side and doesn't respond to the "STOP! Now LISTEN first!" response, then hang up on her and do it without feeling guilty. Because if she will listen to him but not to you - then who knows what she is getting wrong form him (and other people) in terms of mixed signals? Marg [/QUOTE]
