There are a total of 3 boys, 22,21,19. They have all lived out of the house for years now, and two of them are married and starting there own families. My mother in law constantly calls, and refers to herself as their mommy. She is really nosey, which i expect, but it just seems to me like she can't accept that shes not there to take care of them like they are her babies anymore. Which i understand, but it gets to the point where i am uncomfortable with how much she calls, and how much she thinks she needs to know. Please don't get me wrong, I am a mother too. Example... my husband had surgery on his hand, he called and told her, but didn’t give her enough time to actually make it to the surgery, because he didn’t want her to go, but didn’t want to tell her that. She threw a fit. she will call my husband, constantly, i am talking 3 times a day everyday, and he doesn't want to be rude to her, but he doesn't want her calling so much. There is more, but I just don't know what to do as far as with myself. I don’t care to talk to her about it, but I just want to try to maybe not be so uncomfortable with it. He sees the problem, but we both know that it will really hurt her if he says something. I myself do not like people knowing my business, money, anything unless I choose to tell them. She asks about everything, bills, anything. I wouldn’t have a problem with it if she was asking my husband, and it was his personal business, and I wasn’t included, but this is now OUR business, and anytime we try to avoid tellin her, she throws a fit and complains to the oldest son. It just stresses me out. It shouldn’t but it does.
