[quote=Anonymous]Sorry OP, that really blows. My MIL is very nice (and I love her), but she also tries to take over cooking, rearranging shit, laundry, etc and stays for months at a time. So even though she's nice about it, it drives me nuts and I get really frustrated. I end up getting depressed, eating crappy food, and very irritable. I've started speaking up more and she's backed off a little (although she did get very sad/upset and I felt horrible). Still, it's important to have boundaries. In your situation, I would try to find a regular class or activity (exercise, art, academic, book club) to get me out of the house more. Take your teen on a weekend trip - just you two - and stay in a hotel to get a break. My situation is different from yours, so I don't have any suggestions. I'm sorry your DH sucks too.[/quote]
