[quote=Anonymous]I see two options here. 1. Continue on as is. You are miserable. 2. Accept being the bad guy. Either tell her no to the visit (DH doesnt get carte blanche if you both own the home), or stop being nice while she's there. And definitely put a lock on your door! I know some people hate being the bad guy and would rather smile and seethe on the inside, but honestly it is SO FREEING. "Sorry MIL that won't work for us. Maybe we can look at the summer for your next visit". "MIL you need to move the furniture back to how it was before. Do not touch the furniture again." (or if you want to actually be mean, come in and laugh when you see the new layout "LOLOL Oh my gosh, this looks horrible! Who did this?! ... Oh, MIL. Please move it back right away." I'd let her blow up. No tiptoeing in your own house. Tell her no, let her have a tantrum, and then move on. But really, just tell her NO to coming again so soon. And dont deal with any of this for a long time![/quote]
