She thinks I’m lazy and that my poor husband is put upon. She also seems to have a crush on my husband and finds excuses to chat with him.
DEAR AMY: My husband and I have a special-needs teenage son. After more than a year on a wait list, we finally have an in-home therapist.This gives me rare and much-needed breaks.
Recently, after I let her in one morning, she told my son that he was slacking because his mother got up before he did.Darla is good with my son, and if I fired her it would take months to find a replacement.DEAR MOM: Your concerns are related to boundaries and communication. “Darla” might have come to your home from working with other clients who have a different living and communication style.
You should examine if you have taken this entirely the wrong way, triggered by your other annoyances. However, if this sort of comment would cause your son to feel bad, or be anxious, then you should correct Darla about matters having to do with tone. And hints that you’re lazy? Unless these are openly expressed, I sincerely suggest that you stop caring.DEAR AMY: I am wondering what to say to an elderly relative who becomes so high on their pain medication that their speech is slurring, yet they still want to hold my baby.
