[QUOTE="nvts, post: 126952, member: 3814"] I guess the only thing I could TRY (I know how you feel, I'd have such an urge to dive in and drag her out!) and disarm the situation. "Oh, I know [I]I[/I] hate when that happens...would you like to give me the hat and I'll try and dry it out." "What would you like me to do to help the situation?" ( a la throw it back in her lap!) "You know what? Forget about the sun...husband will run to the store and get some Solarcaine for the sunburn you're about to get" "Honey? Would you mind coming out and putting some sunblock on me? I can't get this spot on the back of my neck and I KNOW that you can get it! I sure don't want old lady skin before I have to!" That being said, you asked for suggestions, I don't know if it would work, but it seems that she really, really has trouble with transitioning, so if you make it her idea OR that she's helping YOU, she might fall for it before it gets hostile. Sorry you had to go through this! Beth [/QUOTE]
