[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to talk to your husband and get on the same page. Don't badmouth his mother, but paint a realistic picture about how all of you will end up miserable if she ever lives with you. Show that you mean well. Keep in mind that there are a lot of cultural variations in this area.

If your husband sees your side, then the two of you have to find some stock responses to his mom's comments, to show her that her scenario isn't going to happen. She may just be testing the waters, or she may actually expect to move in with you. If your husband doesn't agree with you, then you have some work to do there first.

[b]My MIL has tried to move in with us, by force[/b], and continues to try. I am unfailingly kind and polite with her, but she has no boundaries, so I have to set them all. She will never live with us as long as I'm in the picture. It would make us all miserable and destroy our family. My husband and I have talked many times about the reality of things versus what would be "nice" and culturally ideal, and he appears to understand how it has to be.

I love this.   Obviously I know you meant it a bit less literally than the image in my head, but I'm imagining Grandma storming the castle, using a catapult to send her luggage over the walls.  :)[/quote]
