I’m coming here to vent because I’m getting so annoyed with my MIL.

Me & my mil are pretty close however lately she has been overstepping tremendously.

1) Me & my dear husband are in search for our first home. We are so tired of renting. We found our dream home. We were over the moon happy. We were a month ahead before signing the papers. My family saw the model home and everything. She on the other hand hated the home because it would have a HOA. I was okay with the HOA fee because we can afford it and I like the thought of a gated community. It makes me feel safer especially with my son. She told my husband that she doesn’t like the home and she was yelling at him basically because she doesn’t live forever and she doesn’t like what we picked out and we should do what she wants since again she won’t be around forever. (She ALWAYS plays this card for EVERYTHING) Like seriously? So now my husband doesn’t want the house. I cried for a hour because I felt heart broken. Our dream home will now be a fantasy. Mommy doesn’t like it so now we don’t get it. Now again we are home searching. He swears she isn’t the reason he changed his mind on the house

2) my son is 1. My husband makes good money and we live comfortably. She however thinks my son should be in daycare and I should work. The day care wants 1600 a month and I would work for 8$ a hour. She thinks that’s acceptable because if my son doesn’t go to daycare he will be missing out?? On what? Getting sick? After me and my husband said no to daycare she kept bothering us questioning our parent skills.

3) She is a helicopter mom. She texts my husband and If he doesn’t respond within 2 minutes she is blowing my phone up. Picture added so you can see what she texts me after him not responding within 2 minutes. He calls his mom 3 times a day and usually texts her as well. If he gets busy and can’t answer she will text me and ask what he is doing.
