[quote=Anonymous]OP - there is a reason that you have to live with your MIL. It is your hardship which has forced you to live in her house.

There are some issues here which you can tackle with tact.
It does seem that she is a hoarder -  her house is messy, she loses things and borrows yours, she does not clean her house.

The problem is that with all the clutter, it is very difficult to clean or find things. Unfortunately, hoarders do not want to get rid of things. What you can do is tell her you will help her to be organized. Then get some clear plastic boxes, label them and put away most of her stuff which is lying around and not being used.  Get your DH to help. This will get you some space which is easier to clean and also allow her to find things easier.  I don't think she will object as long as you do not try and get "rid" of her stuff permanently.

If you can move - do so. If you cannot then try and make it easier on yourself. Remember, most families go through some tough times.[/quote]
