My nextdoor neighbor has had her frail and aged mother move in with the family, which also includes 3 teenagers. She is stressed already, because she feels like the peacemaker in a family at war. Hubby is not too keen on the idea but will do anything for his wife, but two of the teenagers are rebeling against the new rules, (like no loud music and the dogs stay outside the house now). Yet this woman loves her mother dearly and can't bear to send her into a home. Her eldest is threatening to move out. She feels like the meat in the sandwich and she looks terrible. Has anyone dealt successfully with this dilemma?
