Answer—If vou have kept vour quarrelsome mother-in-law in vour home for 18 years you have done vour part many times over and need feel no guilt in making other arrangements for her. Since she is spoiling the home for your children and you haven't room to keep her, your duty is obvious. She must go. There is no easy way to find her a new home without having her around you day in and day out. As the head of the house you have a right to find her a room in pleasant surroundings and move her into it. Of course, you will be the villain of the piece for a time, but it will be worth it to you to keep your family intact.

It will be easier for you to make the decision than your wife, After all you are violating no childhood ties and vou can take the blame because you have less feeling of guilt to contend with. You are simply safeguarding the welfare of your family. You can put it to her as kindly as possible. You can blame the move on lack of room. But whatever you do you will have to be as firm as the Rock of Gibraltar. Once your mind is completely made up and you have the cooperation of your harassed family, you'll find things easier than you imagined. People adjust to the inevitable better than you expect, but if you show any wavering vou’ll have plenty of tears and scenes, Either you have to be hard-hearted toward a grandmother who hasn't even tried to be agreeable, or hard-hearted teward vour children who do not deserve to have their home ruined.
