[quote=Anonymous]My DH is Italian and I am not. I like his family but even after 10 years, his family can be exhausting, mostly because my Italian MIL is a lot to handle. She doesn't like boundaries (she's queen of the "random" drive bys) and everything has to revolve around her. It would never occur to her that we might have something going on and can't accommodate her at a moment's notice. And it's gotten worse over the years. Fortunately my DH recognizes this and works hard to put our family first. So I can definitely relate to how OP's wife might be feeling. It's not rude to say "now is not a good time" because maybe it isnt. And sometimes a little lie to get an Italian MIL who won't take "no" off your back can help, provided of course you don't get caught in the lie.

OP, let your wife have some space from your family for a bit. Ask her to be more polite. But also take a hard look at whether you mother is overstepping and whether you need to establish some boundaries for your family. [/quote]
