>>. .is she nice?<<

Her own children call her "Janet from Another Planet."
Her mother, God rest her soul, the Dear lovely old lady said that she is, "A bit particular"

Actually, my MIL is as controlling as the lady who was sued.

She was giving us a dining room suite because they had moved into an apartment. My hubby and FIL were trying to install gas logs into a fireplace in the same room that the suite had been put into. They spread tiny pieces of they log set all over the floor and she insisted on dancing around them to arrange chairs and place plastic fruit.
My FIL yelled at her.
My hubby asked her politely to do it later.
I said, come on and we'll make some coffee.

She stamped her foot and said, "One, two! Three people aren't gonna tell me what to do!"
No kidding.

At that point I picked up my girls went downstairs.

Nice? maybe. Weird? Definitely.

Well. . .just a bit schizo, perhaps.

That said. . .thanks for the 'rest of the story' ;^)
