[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They basically need a place to stay for a month and we got stuck with them. That's all the details I want to give.[/quote]

Change your attitude toward them.  You said "stuck" with them so, yes, it is going to be pure Hell for all of you.  Change your attitude to "having an opportunity to helping" your in-laws.[/quote]

Sorry. It’s hard to change my attitude when my MIL has passive aggressively been insulting me, my child rearing and my domestic skills for the past 15 years![/quote]

I sympathize OP. I also have the worst MIL (lest anybody question me: after one discussion-literally, not raised voices, just a topic about my children on which we did not agree--not too long ago, she left the house and had FIL drive her directly to the hospital claiming she was having a heart attack. She called my DH the next day--after being sent home 12 hours later, to let him know that I caused her to have a heart attack. This is one of many batsh*t crazy things she pulls). If only I could direct my superpower to cause MIL heart attacks to you, you'd have your soution right there. Good luck. All I can say is, breathe.[/quote]

PP 22:20. OMG PP with heart attack MIL! I was going to post that I could do a TedTalk on avoidance measures and lead with stories of how my newly retired MIL used to show up unannounced to “check on us.” Or, the warning shot when she announced at her retirement party how she was going to “raise her grandchildren” (I’d just had my 2nd baby/her only GC and was a new SAHM).

Never gave MIL a key and no doorbell. I’ll confess to hearing her knock and deciding that it was time for DC to take a bath or other evasive measures. Then she’d be so disappointed we didn’t answer that she’d call first. That would give me time to run to the neighborhood park or playground, or even hop in the car and go a few streets over...two could play at this game.
