It's a good thing to be able to unload. I can't imagine how difficult it would be having to deal with what's already on your plate PLUS an added person. <BR/>While I don't want you to feel guilty, one thing to remember:<BR/>When we're little, it's our mothers that take care of ever single need we have. As we get older, we find the roles reversing & it becomes our turn. <BR/>I think your MIL is very blessed to have you & your wife in her life.janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516413877078827053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17907530.post-1142646676251528022006-03-17T19:51:00.000-06:002006-03-17T19:51:00.000-06:00Hmmmm.

My OWN mother stayed with me for three days a few months ago and I was so on edge I thought I was going to lose my mind. I can sort of understand how you feel. <BR/><BR/>Er- What about one of those nice assisted living places? You know, they're like hotels (not those horrible Old Folks Homes). My grandma is moving into one. She lives in her little condo but she gets to have housekeeping and she can order up food from the dining area. I think it's COOL. I want to move into one right now!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17907530.post-1142602807347462702006-03-17T07:40:00.000-06:002006-03-17T07:40:00.000-06:00"I felt like a hamster with no wheel."Bingo.
