[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 532380"] Wow, she really needs some boundaries. I like Steps idea of keeping the dog outside when you're not home. Even dog sitting for others. Yeah, maybe she needs to feel like she isn't welcome before she'll get the hint. I'm sure you've sat down and told her where the boundaries are and she just isn't accepting them. Something I do with my mom is to take the passive out of it. If she steps over a boundary I aggressively tell her.(I don't attack her physically. I just let her know in a tone that doesn't leave any room for doubt.) Every time. I don't tell her everytime she hurts my feelings. Mostly its when she steps over a line with the kids. She is scared of conflict and will back off fast. And, no, I am not liked, and they talk about how awful I am behind my back. But, I am mom and they don't interfere with my kids. When she stays with us that includes rather small things that she thinks are petty. I would've had a fit about her coming in uninvited just because it would send difficult child 1 into a tail spin.
