DEAR ABBY: My husband died three years ago, and I met someone shortly after.
My daughter-in-law is a terrible housekeeper. I watch my grandchildren three days a week and am expected to drop them off at her house after I pick up the oldest from school. It is troubling for me to see how dirty the house is, so I end up secretly cleaning. What’s the best way to address this with her? I could offer to help her with the housework a few hours a week. — TIDY IN TENNESSEEArticle contentThe best way to address this would be the direct approach.
Today, our relationships with certain family members are fairly strained, but they still want to overstay.

We need our rest if we are going to be productive tomorrow. Thank you for being with us. We’ll do it again.
