OP I totally get this!!! My DH overshared the first two years of our relationship. What people here aren't getting is that hat your MIL is doing which my ILs did too was then she/think that they had an equal part in whatever was talked about. I'd have had no problem saying we'd had a car repair if my ILs then didn't get hyper involved in the merits of fixing or not, who we used, who we should have used etc. I was a fully functioning adult before dating/marrying DH but all of a sudden every fricking life event was a back and girth with his parent. Buying a toaster was magnified into a major decision when truly it was just -oh geez, toaster's broke, we need new one, we should get a new one at some point. I finally convinced my DH that not sharing the minutiae of our life didn't cut off his parents and decisions were ours to make, not ones to solicit opinions from the group on. Some of his siblings still run everything through the family-and my DH is still drawn into but I know what you mean OP. Get him to stop!

You have a problem with his relationship with his mother. Telling one's parents about getting a raise, and other normal events is not oversharing. If you are a privacy freak, own it. It's your problem, not "oversharing."

It is a problem if DH's family thinks they should know everything - ie: entitlement about DH's money, sex life, personal issues. Even worse if DH's family feels entitled to some of the money. OP, maybe you should lay down the law with your MIL and tell her to MYOB. Some people like to push as far as you let them.

No ... tell him to keep his mouth shut.
