They won't be changed because they'll have NO MONEY LEFT after sinking so much into the downpayment, unnecessarily, when I am more than willing to give them a generous loan!

. . .with naught but a few wee tiny little strings attached!

Alert: mommy-over-involvement!

And I won't care if their paint colors are outdated and their carpets need to be replaced.

Who ARE you?

My MIL is honestly as crazy as they get. You make her look great!

My MIL honestly IS this crazy. In fact, if we had not been living in our house for 10+ years, I would be thinking this WAS my MIL!!!!

We KNOW.

This is why we're wasting our time here trying to explain it to you, poor dear.

OP, haven't you ever wanted to do something on your own? Something you earned without a loan?

But nothing like you.

This is the OP. I want you all to just remember YOU will be the ILs someday.

His wife is more important to him than you. understand and accept this. trying to blame her or discredit her will only hurt your relationship with your son.

This. I'm not a troll caller, but this was my first thought. DIL posting what she thinks is MIL's perspective in order to get everyone to bash MIL.

If that's the case, yeah, from what you post MIL is wrong, but you're oversensitive and take everything personally too. So, both of you get over it. Be adults. MIL doesn't have to approve. You don't have to take money. Just get along because you're family now, so figure it out.
