John warned me from the start that his mother was a tough nut to crack, which is why he hesitated to introduce me to her. Despite my best efforts, things didn’t go as planned.
My mom, who is retired, prefers going on dates rather than helping me with my kids. How do I handle this situation?
“Mom, why don’t you move in with us? There’s no need for you to be alone all the time. It would be better for you here, more enjoyable, and little Emma would get to see her grandma more often.
