MIL Vent

My MIL has been in NC for about 6 weeks.  She's coming home next week, and has made it known that she plans on coming over more.  UGH!  This woman is a nightmare and literally drives me CRAZY.  She doesn't ever leave, she doesn't do anything to help, makes me wait on her, and just makes a mess!!  I'm not sure I can tolerate her being her.  H travels A LOT, and if she thinks she's just going to sit her butt on my couch while he's gone she's got another thing coming.

Re: MIL Vent

  • How does your husband feel about the situation?  Is he willing to participate in setting some healthy boundaries with his mother?  There is no reason you should feel obligated to play hostess to her 24/7.  It should be your call when you invite her over and how long she is welcome to stay.
  • He's a total mommy's boy, but she's even been getting on his nerves lately.  I guess we'll see what happens when she gets home.  I'm hoping she doesn't follow through.  I'm busy most days during the week, so if I have to, I'll just let H know that she can't just think she's going to come over every day.

  • I feel for you. With everything that I have heard about her, I was cringing before I even opened this post. If it was me, I would "lay down the law". If she doesn't like it, then she can stop coming over until she does.
