My mother in law has pretty much lost all modesty. I'll remind her that the shirt she is wearing needs to be washed and she'll reach up and pull it off right then. Her bedroom and bathroom are on the main floor of the house, just off the living room, and that can be really scary. The other night I walked upstairs and past her bathroom just in time to see her heading to the toilet in only a shirt and a depends undergarment.
I guess since she's not being modest, she figures the rest of us don't need to bother with it either. She is constantly walking into our bedroom, even when the door is shut, without knocking or any other warning. Even if she knocks, she doesn't wait for an answer. I've started locking the door everytime I go in there.
Karl has started escaping to our bedroom, even if it's only 8 p.m., just to get away from his mother. She thinks he's gone to bed and will limit her interruptions. However, she usually can't stay away and will continue to poke her head in our room, saying, "Just one more question," then asking something we've already answered at least five times.
One night while I was gone to a meeting, Karl really did go to bed early. When I arrived home, Dair came rushing out of her bathroom, clad only in Depends, arm draped across her chest, crying, "He's asleep, don't wake him," as she pointed to our bedroom door. "I won't," I assured her, then wondered how in the heck I was supposed to go to sleep with that vision burned into my eyeballs.
