[QUOTE="totoro, post: 279327, member: 3155"] mother in law Queen of this... she uses guilt. Her last one was the watching of her Father. "I know you guy's have a lot on your plate, (Her way of saying she really doesn't think we do) I know I shouldn't ask this of you, (but she really thinks she should and will anyway) but could you watch Pop for 2 months." "He really won't be a bother, (meaning he will and she just needs a break but will not admit it) you should only need to check on him every other day or so, (meaning every day)." She then adds the real whammo, about how she would ask husband's Brother but he would not do something like this, (meaning can husband ask him to help). Because she is afraid to confront him. I think of these things as her little passive ways of still acting like perfect Mom and us never being able to be outwardly mad at her, but underneath she is aggressively getting her way. [/QUOTE]
