MIL came to my house
once, uninvited, and stayed for 3 whole days. I had just had
my second baby. She made it clear that she wanted me to cook
for her and entertain her. She lives in the suburbs, and was
intending to come to the city, where we live, for a change of scenery.
I was very upset and I was already too tired, given the fact that
I have a toddler and a newborn in the house, and my DH was not in
the country. I was tired the day she came, and decided to
order a pizza for dinner. She said that she does not like
pizza. I said, "Fine." I called the pizza
company and ordered for me and the little toddler. Then I
got a box of fish fingers out of the freezer, for her to prepare
for herself. It was there and then that she decided that she
wanted to go back home.

DF and I recently got
engaged. The Saturday before we went to a baby shower and
he showed a couple of our friends the ring before I knew anything
about it! The next day he proposed to me! That night
we went home to show his mom (he still lives at home and I live
with them) and she said, "Oh, that's nice." She
didn't care that we had gotten engaged. A few weeks later,
after her being pissy to the both of us, we had a HUGE argument.
I mean World War III! She screamed at us, saying that we kept
the surprise from her and that we had gotten engaged on Saturday!
She later told us that one of our friends (somehow, we still do
not know who it was) told her, "Oh my God, you should see the
rock she has!" So, she assumed that it all happened without
her knowing anything about it! Well, it's been about a month
now, and the woman is still not talking to us! She has been
blaming me for prank calling her at a time when I was sitting right
next to my DF! What do I do about her?! She wants nothing
to do with the wedding (So far! We are hoping she comes around).
We asked her to make a guest list so that we would know the approximate
number of people from her side in order to look for a hall, and
we gave her a cut off number! She blew that out of the water
by about 50 people. She just does not understand how much
stress she is causing us! What do I do? I really am
starting to hate FMIL!

DH and I have been married
for only 15 months, and his parents have come to visit us 6 times
for 5 to 10 day visits. They stay with us and eat 75% of their
meals here. His brother and DF even come to stay with us while
they are here, and I end up doing most of the cooking and cleaning.
We end up footing the bill. I can't say anything to my DH
without him overreacting. They ALWAYS tell us when they are
coming - shouldn't we be the people doing the inviting??????
Is this too much visiting, or am I just mean???? There are
a lot more stories about the MIL (rude comments, lack of compliments,
referring to our house as my "husband's name" house, etc.).
