writes: I am expecting my third child with my partner and although everything seems to be OK, there is just one problem, his grandmother. She is in her 90's and is very demanding, insisting we have her once every week for dinner and She stays all day. I complained to my partner but he wont do anything, saying that she's old and can't change. It causes a lot of friction in the relationship, I don't want to leave so what can I do?

Why not compromise and either have her every second week for the day or have her for dinner and an hour afterwards every week?

If he is not home entertaining his grandmother during her whole visit, then he has a lot of nerve refusing to say something to her! She is imposing on your time, and with other children, and the pregnancy, you should not be expected to be as cheerful and hostess, nor as attentative as you would be under other circumstances. Insist that he talk to her. Cut the visits shorter, or insist that he entertain his grandmother during her visits so that she stays out of your way. He can pick her up later, and/ or take her home earlier, so you can have some time to rest. You need it. Your doctor will support you on this.
