[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 397232, member: 1991"] Thanks, smallworld, that's the sort of problem I suspected. I told them last night as we left, to call me if/when she's going to see a doctor so I can go along and nag on her behalf. Her own mother isn't much help in this - she's of the "pull yourself together! Stop being lazy!" school, and my daughter in law is definitely not lazy. Her mother has done a lot of damage to her over the years. Besides - her mother has now 'left home' and moved to a beach cottage on the north coast. Everyone has heaved large sighs of relief. I quite like her mother (believe it or not) but she is definitely socially dysfunctional. I'm not sure when we'll see difficult child 1 & daughter in law again, maybe for new year (I hope) although for us, new year's tends to be rather dreary, and they're probably visiting friends (their own age). It's been really good for mother in law to have the kids Around, she has really chirped up and lost a lot of the querulous old woman aspect. I've got to have a serious talk to her, but I don't think it will do any good. Marg [/QUOTE]
