So glad we are with my ILs for NYE - vent

My DH couldn't get off work before now, so we came to visit His parents Thursday afternoon and are leaving tomorrow. My MIL needs hearing aids and won't get them, so she constantly thinks we are talking about her or we are whispering on purpose. And if anyone asks, "where is blah, I can't find it" she starts yelling "it isn't my fault, I didn't do it." She is a very angry person and has a very short temper.

We have told her a million times, that when Evan is sleeping she cannot go into his room (or the room where he is sleeping) even if he is talking or crying. Up until this morning she has honored our wishes even though she constantly tells us how she loved being with her kids and would go in their rooms whenever she wanted to see them and would wake them up just to hold them. Well, at 6:30 this morning she comes into the room where we were sleeping and was holding DS. She says "here is daddy" all cheery and we asked what she was doing. She said she thought she heard him calling for us. We told her we have the monitor and didn't hear a peep until we heard her go in there. Then she said she was worried he might be cold, so she went in there. We put him back to bed but he never fell back to sleep and that is on top of him getting to bed an hour late.

Now, she has decided that she is going to watch her movie in the main part of the house whether anyone likes it or not. And since she is hard of hearing it is loud to me 2 rooms away. Oh, then she came and told me that she wants us to move rooms tonight (my SIL and her DH where here with us but went home this morning) into the room where SIL and BIL were sleeping so she can stay up late watching her movies and we won't complain about the sound. This the the room SIL told us she and BIL had to have so they could have more privacy so they could have sex since she is ovulating. MIL said she'd change the sheets if we needed her to. Argh! So at about 9:00 I came up stairs and have been hiding out. I have heard at least 2 instances of her getting upset and it has only been half an hour. This is one of the worst NYEs ever and that includes the one I spent completely alone.

  • Sorry about the lack of formatting (thanks, Android) and for the long post. Guess I'm just having a pity party.

  • Oh man, I feel for you!  I don't have IL's but I would be pissed if anyone came in and woke up DD.  Luckily, it will all be over soon.
