YES! My MIL lives with my husband and I and she will act out with us all the time but the second she is around anyone else including her other two kids she becomes like a different person all sweet, happy and charming.

Big time!!! I really notice it with my wife when she talks to friends on the telephone. When it is just her and me at home she acts out a lot and as soon as a friend phones she turns into a totally different person. Good conversations and laughter. As soon as the call has ended, she goes right back to acting out. Supper time or near the end of the day seems to get a lot worse.
