[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 196214, member: 1233"] My Dear Lisa, You are an adult. You have your own home separate from your mother. You simply do NOT have to be there when she arrives. If she is angry over this, disnegage like you would with a difficult child. Lock the doors, have husband lock the doors. Leave a note on the door saying you are sorry but you had plans to be away with easy child and would be more than happy to entertain her with a bit of notice. Or call her tonite (if she can call late so can you) and uninvite her - tell her clearly that she cannot come tomorrow. Then GO WITH easy child. And HAVE FUN! Once you do it, there will be a blow up. But it will pass, and clearer boundaries will be in place. Or you can let her come visit with no notice at a bad time with distant relatives and this will continue for a long time to come. You really DO have a choice here sweetie. Susiee [/QUOTE]
