[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d love for someone to come and do my laundry for me and spend 8!hours a day cooking. [/quote]

It really doesn't matter what you'd love. That part is irrelevant because the MIL knows the DIL doesn't want this but does it anyway, because it's her son so she thinks she has the permanent right to take over. I told my DH - feel free to go live with his mother anytime.

WHen my MIL folds my towels, she puts them all upstairs in a closet, even thought they don't all go there. Then, she doesn't fold, she just kind of lops them over and its a big pile of towels. I have delicate laundry - she just throws it all in with the towels and turns on the washing machine- no sorting. Uses a fork on non-stick cookware, stores other pans on top of non-stick cookware. Puts sheets on with the part that's supposed to face outside on the inside because she thinks it's softer, places toilet paper with paper under. Cleans my wood furniture with vinegar!

It's called respecting a person's right to run their own household.[/quote]

To PP, this is OP, and our MILs must be sisters or something. Right down to the vinegar! Everytime she leaves, first thing I have to do is buy all new nonstick cookware, and scrub everything to try to get the vinegar smell out. She even dumped out some of my bottles of cleaner and refilled them with vinegar, so yesterday I tried to clean something and ended up spraying vinegar all over it before I realized.

I just came downstairs this morning to find an armchair pulled from one room into another and carefully arranged so that it actually blocks the back door, and a large red and blue patterned throw rug - which she must have bought yesterday - has been placed on the floor of my previously minimalist monochrome room.
