My MIL...

Alix

Currently living with my (future) in-laws.. we rent out their basement (1bedroom-1bath) for $500 per month, plus cover groceries once in a while, the sewer, phone, etc. I canNOT STAND IT SOME DAYS! Like tonight, my MIL didn't want to cook, the boys (my 12yr old bro-in-law and step-son whom we picked up early today) were running around, my fiancé was sleeping as he works overnights, so I cooked. I made chicken breasts with my own homemade sauce, corn, hash browns, and baked beans. With the chicken breasts, I made some with my sauce, some with just BBQ sauce and a few plain because the boys are picky eaters. When I pulled the chicken out of the oven, my MIL immediately said, "I don't like BBQ sauce. There arent enough plain ones for me and D (her eldest son who is high functioning autistic)." To avoid an argument, like I always do, I didnt say anything......until I went downstairs and told my fiancé....

Granted, there are days, everyone gets along. Everything works out fine. Other days, I cant WAIT to get out of this house. Being here tests my patience and my limits... I stress out most days..
