Mil rant

Allison

Okay so I want helpful information and not the whole you can't live with your mil crap. So my husband and I and my mother in law all live together. My husband and i were dating and they decided to get the place we live now because we would need more room and then he proposed to me and we all three moved in together and we have been living together for a year and half. Before I moved in my mil took on two kids that was suppose to be temporary. Anyways due to their family memebers shes under a lot of stress along with health issues. Tonight I asked my husband to take two plants to her room where all her other plants are so I could start leaving my puppy out more and not have to worry about her chewing the plants and eating them. That caused my mil to fly off the wall and take all her furniture out of one of our living rooms and all the pictures and knack nacks all the while screaming. My husband and I don't know whether to sell this place and we all move out on our own or to work it out with her and tell her we aren't going to put up with it anymore. Its equal her house and our house.

I think you've written about her multiple times now, or someone else on this app is going thru the exact same thing lol. You should go your separate ways at this point.

I don't recall writing about her before. Maybe I have? Thats what I am thinking.

Well, she really overreacted, but if I were you I would have asked her if it would be okay to move the plants and tell her why...You could try family counseling or even having regular family meetings and check-ins. I used to do this when I had roommates.Otherwise, maybe it is time to get separate living spaces.

I obviously don’t know the whole situation - only what you’ve written. And I feel weird defending her b/c she obviously went off the rails... but she must really love plants and maybe it bugs her that she feels like she can only have two plants in the shared living space. And then she comes home (or whatever) and finds out she can’t even have that because they’ve been moved without any one even saying anything. Just when I had roommates (and even with my husband) I’d ask before I moved something from a shared space, especially if it’s decor or something really important to that person. I’d be bugged if someone moved one of my favorite pictures or something. Sorry, not sure why I get I had to respond to your comment and like I said she beyond overreacted.

Well i guess i could have asked forst but since all her 30 other plants are in that one room i figured she would want the others in there also. Although i shouldn't have to get everything approved through her because shedoes what she wants when she wants. Thanks for the feed back though

Clearly go your separate ways. I’m not even sure why that’s a question...
