My mother in law lives out of state and has came into town for the birth of our baby girl. She came down at the end of April for the baby shower (we made it later in my pregnancy for her) and is staying until a little after the baby is born. I’m due the 27th of May but it doesn’t seem like my girl is going to come until after 😩 ANYWAYS my MIL is very dependent on people! She doesn’t work so anywhere we go we are paying for her. She doesn’t ever want to do what we want to. For example, my family invited us out to dinner to get together (we are extremely close with my cousins) and she doesn’t want to go because she wants to go to the movies. She doesn’t even have a movie in mind that she wants to see 😡 As soon as we say what we want to do she says she wants to do something else. But when we ask her what she wants to do before we say what we want she says she doesn’t know.

Also on Mother’s Day we went to a restaurant that she wanted to go to versus where everyone else wanted to go to. (I get it’s Mother’s Day so I should be more understanding on this one) but it is a constant battle between what we want and what she wants.

I understand it is probably boring with her staying here all day while we are both working but she knew that was going to happen before she came here! She has already rearranged my kitchen, living room, and hall closets! But it’s driving me nuts that as soon as we want to do something she doesn’t want to do it then complains about being home alone all day. My husband plays softball 2 times a week and I always go to the games, we invite her but she never wants to go.

I have tried bringing it up to my husband but I feel bad because he doesn’t get to see her that often and I don’t want him to think she is unwelcome here. I love her to death but with she would be a little bit more considerate.

Ok I’m done venting 😩 please let me know if you think I am being over sensitive (I’ll blame my hormones lol 😂)
