That must be a hideous situation. I love my mother-in-law but she is a rare breed and rarely interferes. I can but imagine…

I would be maddest at the husband though – after all, a bit of emotional support isn’t too much to ask from a partner. He needs to shape up and start listening.

I also know someone who dealt with the in-laws living with them for an extended period of time. Although she loved them, it was just a little much hearing how she could do this and could do that.

I love my mother-in-law, but I think I would struggle after living with her for too long. I think that is just proves that we are strong independent women and we choose to run our house as we see fit. I don’t think there is anything wrong with that. I would rather be strong and independent that a rug on which everyone feels they can wipe their feet!

Hey I like your blog.

I know someone like you mentioned as well. I would not have been able to live the life she lives. I know that life would be easier if my mom-in-law or mom came and lived with me but I think the benefits would be outweighed by the fact that I would have to check myself into a mental institution!

Sometimes all a woman needs is a friend with an attentive ear. I’m sure you provided that for her and she’s grateful. We all need to vent ocassionally!
That being said, what a difficult situation! Nothing is more unwanted by a mom than unsolicited advice, and living with people who feel obligated to dole it out every day would drive me INSANE too.
