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!!!

I would tell her you just need help and since you enjoy her company = you chose her?
|
Can they bring her over to you, to "help" you for the day? If she doesn't have a car, she can't leave :D:D:D

Is she into crafts?? If so homemade last min. table decorations might just keep her hands busy and at your house.

If she doesn't want to stay...just tell her it's Christmas, the kids don't want you home right now. Say it with a smile and I think she will catch on.

One definitely shouldn't ask too many questions this time of year!! Or at least that's what I used to tell my children at Christmas time!
|
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!
