I’m three days into the ‘experiment’ of having my MIL stay at our home. Our small home, which of no surprise to me is not good for hosting overnight guest. A blow up mattress has taken over our family room, the limited bathroom and noise associated has been middle night adjustment and distraction. Being home is like visiting that great grand parent with a china cabinet in every room. Although my daughter has loved every minute of it; her desire not to sleep and miss out or eat food has made her irritable, whiny, and misbehaved. My husband who did take off work because his estranged brother passed away. Complained the first day of about being with his mom for a few hours that he left her at our home and went to the gym and it has been repeating since. I gave him the task of getting groceries which has been ignored the past three days despite him disappearing to go shopping for himself (we have zero food.) He informed me today, that he is going to lunch with other out town family on Sunday and won’t be able to “hang out” with us. So although my MIL staying with us has not been as awful as I thought it be; I will never say okay again. My husband’s childlike behavior, our disrupted household, and my daughter’s inability to be able to recover are why I will offer to pay for a hotel the next time. I tried to be as cool as some of you other glow mamas but I am just not. I admire you that do and am incredibly jealous of those that have a husband that takes charge of situations without having be directed (and actually follows through).
