MIL has been here since the 21st of December. She is in her 70s but active and in reasonable health.
However, she has had a cough, which she often gets in winter. The problem with this is that she NEVER covers her mouth when she coughs. (She also has atrocious table manners but that's another topic entirely...). It's not an age thing as I've known her since she was my age and she has always done it. DH and I have asked her nicely to remember to cover her mouth, but to no avail.
Yesterday I did a buffet lunch as we had some friends over, and she proceeded to cough repeatedly over the food. I'm afraid I lost it. She is now sulking, and I feel terrible, but my instinctive reaction was of disgust. Even the kids were revolted by it.
At least she goes home tomorrow...
