In-law problems?
-
I had a tough time in the early years of my marriage. When the kids came, I somehow found reserves of courage to do what I thought was right sometimes.
10 years ago, I told The Husband that I was perfectly fine if he wished to divorce me in order to marry his Mother. Things have been more manageable since, and very soon we will be moving into the same house, where she will have her own self-sufficient mini apartment space with kitchenette.
When she came over today, she noted that my toilet bowls needed bleaching and my pineapple tarts should be in the fridge. I told her that she needs to only mind her house, not mine. I can manage my household without help. Hopefully, when we move in together, she will remember what I said today or else I'll go mad. -

If I had told mine to mind her own house while I mine my own, there will definitely be a volcano explosion with lots of drama and tears.I had a tough time in the early years of my marriage. When the kids came, I somehow found reserves of courage to do what I thought was right sometimes.

I read your stories earlier, and truly sympathise. I am not looking forwards to having her move in, notwithstanding the solid wall separating her lodgings and mine. -

I must say that even if she has her own apartment space complete with kitchen and toilet, I would not want to stay with her under the SAME roof...not even if there is a solid gate and door separating the households. Her tears and drama is enough to drive me nuts...not to say that hubby of mine is one who will never dare tell his mother she is long-winded.janet_lee88:

did you actually tell her to mind her house and you yours? wow, i will get a smack on my head from my parents if i said that to my mil.
hmmm, this happened to me when i just got married. at first, i was unhappy but i realised that this is not the way to go. so if she comes over and tell me this and that, i will listen because sometimes what she said is right and for the rest, i just do my own way if i disagree. but i will not treat her comments as something negative adn keep a happy mind myself and laugh off her comments.
sometimes, i did what my mil do. when i went to my parents' house, i will check the house and make comments too and my parents called me busybody. oh, how i miss them both. -

Not only that, my hubby and I will have fights. But honestly it's good to draw the line clear because it will be tough staying under one roof...if she walks over every other day telling you which toilet bowl needs bleaching or the sink needs a good scrub, it will be very stressful.
