My DH and I lived together for a year and a half before we married recently.  MIL adores me, and adores her son even more.  She just loves us SOOOOOOOOO MUCH that she wants to spend oodles and oodles of time at our house during OUR few and far between periods of spare time, whining about her bad marriage and how hard her life is.  She will constantly call and expect us to drop everything because SHE wants to get together, have dinner, come over, or worse - stay the night!  Her most recent attempt at overbearing behavior was to - get ready for this one - brace yourselves - STAY THE NIGHT WITH US ON OUR WEDDING NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Yep, you heard me.  She tried to stay the night at our home, with us, the night of our MARRIAGE.  She lives 45 minutes out of town, and said that it would be "more convenient" for her to come to our house to stay the night.  ARE YOU KIDDING ME????????????  It's our wedding night!  When she brought it up, I about fell out of my chair.  She said, "Well, I guess with the wedding coming up, I'll just stay the night at your house, with you, that night, since it's far from home."  First of all, she makes a tremendous amount of money a year.  I'm pretty sure they can afford a hotel room for one night, for $100 or so.  Secondly, how dare she put me (well, us, but mainly, ME) in the position of having to reject her extremely overbearing request????  When she oh-so nonchalantly said that she would stay the night, I instantly said, "Well, I don't think that will work out, since this is going to be our wedding night.  We are going to spend the evening alone.  We've asked all company coming in from out of town to stay at a hotel."  She got very quiet and was definitely upset that she was shot down in her little attempt to crash our big night.  You should have seen her face.  It was like seeing a little kid get reprimanded.  I think she expected to just tell us what she was doing, and that be that.  Apparently, after I left that evening to run errands, she AGAIN brought this up to DH.  She cornered him and whined about what I said to her, asking why it was a problem.  WHAT THE?????  This woman is insane.  Who in the WORLD would want to spend their wedding night with their MIL AT THEIR HOUSE, with them??  Good grief.  This woman is NUTS-O!

The really horrible thing about having my MIL live in the same town as me is that she lives in the same town as me.  Little did I know that, because of this fact, MIL would become the biggest thorn in my side.  Most women, when they are 9 months pregnant, are uncomfortable and hormonal.  I was in what I call the "I hate people" stage, and my MIL was the main culprit.  Next thing I know, the woman was doing "drive-by's" of my house, hoping that she was going to catch me when I was in labor.  I'm not quite sure what she expected, maybe me laying in the middle of the front yard in the middle of a contraction?  I found out, a week before DD was born, that I was going to be induced the following Tuesday.  Thankfully, my wonderful DH never said anything about it to anyone, since I asked him to keep it a secret.  The last thing I needed was for MIL to show up.  The woman is so baby-crazy that she probably would have shoved the doctor aside so she could grab the baby straight out of the birth canal.  So, I had my beautiful baby girl, and I lost a lot of blood.  Due to this, I was unable to even sit up after delivery because of low blood pressure.  My first and only request:  No visitors.  DH relayed that the baby was born, and my "no visitors" request to everyone.  What do you think happened??  Yep . . .

We got back from our honeymoon on a Saturday night and went to work the following Monday.  I came home from work, opened the door, and there on the couch were my ILs and my shocked looking DH.  The ILs, apparently, decided to just show up without telling us.  DH and I had planned to make our first married meal together, but they decided that we needed company, after being alone all week.  Oh, and the first thing I said, when I opened the door was, "What are you doing here?"  They have never showed up out of the blue since then, and choose to stay at my BIL's house (nearby) instead.
