answer:Yes, but not a long term one, although it came close. Me ex MIL is a very need person but she expects everything to be brought to her. She just about refused to do physical therapy for hip replacements, and now she doesn’t like to go anywhere unless absolutely forced to. She is always complaining she can’t see the grand kids ( my kids) but she does nothing to make it easy, never has food in the house to feed them. I just worked hard on setting boundaries with her. I encourage the kids to call her. What pisses me off more is that if I send her a picture of the kids, she’ll print it on crappy paper and then send it to MY mom! I take a nicely printed photo to my mom, and I get , “oh thank you, Ann already sent it to me.”
