Wow. MIL just arrived,
very late, and has completely taken over my house. I kid you not.
This woman brought a portable plastic-ware dresser and an air mattress
(which does not hold air completely, and she insists on blowing
it up with a loud electronic blower all night) among other things.
She happily situated herself in our newly decorated baby's room.
She used the baby blankets, that I just washed and put away so nicely,
to stack her picture frames and candles on. Our rocking chair is
being used as a wet towel holder after her long showers. The baby
clothes in the closet have been thrown aside, and her cr@p is all
hung up in there. She just laid her various bags on top of the
other baby stuff that I had nicely washed and folded. AND, she
"reorganized" my pantry and our knickknack drawer for
herself (as she said). She has placed strange jars of grease from
chicken gizzards in our nice large mugs, uncovered, in my fridge.
And, she has not stopped talking since she arrived. Even DH said
that he has never seen her talk so much, ever. My just-cleaned
house is cluttered with her stuff, and littered with Biblical books
right and left. Not to mention, she wakes up at 6 am and is very
loud. Now her van broke down 2 hours from our house on a trip she
took to do some event that she wanted to do. DH has to drive there
in the dark, through the 4 tolls, and change her fuel pump himself,
because she drove across the country and did not get her van serviced
(she just asks DH to do all the mechanic work for her because it's
free). I am losing my mind, and it's only been 2 days. This woman
has taken over my house and my life, and is making me anxious every
time she comes around. I feel like a little kid who is living at
her parent's house. But, this is MY HOME. I told DH how I am feeling,
and he got upset. He said that he would tell her to leave, but,
of course, that is not what I want. I feel bad, but this is my
home. I am a grown woman, and I do not need to be told that I am
doing things wrong. I do not deserve to be "violated"
(for lack of a better word) in this way! BTW, I am almost 7 months
pregnant, which does NOT make this any easier. Does anyone have
advice on what to do in this situation? I cannot take another day
in this situation. PLEASE HELP ME.

Worst gift: MIL is a
shameless, flaming narcissist to begin with. So, it came as no
real surprise when she RE-GIFTED me, one Christmas, with an overly
large blazer jacket thing that was shopworn and had a split and
frayed seam on the side. I had seen it hanging in her closet earlier
in the year among her own clothes. At the time, she explained it
was a gift to her from someone. Her re-gifting gesture was so debase
and tasteless, but I couldn't bring myself to say anything at the
time. Later on, shortly after the new year, my DH and I were having
a spat that included MIL's behavior towards me. I tried, I really
did try to not let it out that I was hurt by her lack of goodwill.
But, it came out. Of course, DH told Mommy. Yuck. When I found
that out, I just kinda said, "I gotta get away from these loonies."
Then, my birthday rolled around that year. Sure enough, she did
it again. This time, it was a set of candles that she got for Christmas
from someone. I had seen her unwrap them during the festivities.
AHHHHhhhh!!!! Just give me the chance to watch her leave, and to
see the door close for the last time as she goes. Now THAT would
be a real gift!
