I used reverse psychology ( never could spell that)...on my mil....today....Couple more days...she won't want to come close to me...I had her stick to me like glue...today. In fact I bundled her up to watch me shovel the deck...mere minutes....
I'm tired...too....
It wasn't good last night....She pushed G over the top...not physically but mentally. Pushed him...and pushed him more...so....reverse psychology today and tomorrow and as long as it takes....I'll intrude on her like she does us.
Hang in there with your MIL. You are right.
