A beer, a bottle of wine, more whining, and another

bottle of wine cracked.

Yup. She can't resist. No food. A beer or two. Most of one bottle of wine. Into the next. Getting into the SOS with me, again.

On and on.

Until I challenged her. Told her that it was a bit hard to believe that if the visit from my folks were to take place in Sept / Oct, that we wouldn't be going round and round the same stuff, different time.

Her attitude / history / view of her relationship with my mom woudn't be different....

etc, etc.

But, as soon as I suggested that HER attitudes and behaviors and feelings would be the same no matter the time frame, her focus changed...

back to the anxiety, severe -- that my dad may tumble down the stairs....

the preference for an in-law apartment being added on.....

No acknowledgement that much would be the same for her part.
