keep my daughter's MIL away from the house tomorrow. My son-in-law's mother lives with them in a separate apartment they built over the garage; beautiful & 1100 sq.ft. I might add. Anyway my son-in-law just called me and asked me to keep his mother busy and away from the house as they are having her Christmas present delivered. She and I are great friends, and enjoy being together and all, but I cook, she goes to the deli. I am going to be preparing food for Christmas brunch here. They only live 8 minutes from me so it is very easy for her to go back home whenever she wants. So how do I keep her at my house? Maybe if I get her busy setting up the basement. But all day? Help!!!

Well, now she knows tha she can just hang out with you and you won't have too much trouble making her stay put. Just hand her a lint brush!

Well, I talked to her and said, "Bear with me, I have been given my marching orders." She just laughed and said they are probably having a party and she's not invited. Sounds to me like they are getting her her own washer and dryer, so she doesn't have to go into the main house to do her laundry.[/quote]
