How do you get rid of an annoying mother-in-law?

Question

She stays at our house a few nights a week. But the problem is that she buts into our lives and then she goes to all her friends and my husbands family and tells them all of our problems. I am at my wits end!!

Answer 1

I cannot believe what you wrote about you mother-in-law, How can she meddle in the marriage between you and her son, I won't go into detail about it but, the only person that can tell this woman not to get between you two, is your husband, because she is his mother, and my guess is that this woman would not listen to any word you say to her. If your husband does not want to do it, tell him that you will no longer let her set foot in your house anymore. I guess that this is the only way you will have some peace from her, if this doesn't work, than your husband does not value, what he has in you. I am a mother-in-law of two daughters-in-law and five sons-in-law, and would never dictate to my kids how to live their lives, because if they are happy with their mates I am very happy for it too. I hope that you can come to terms with this problem you are experiencing and I hope it will be resolved so, that your husband and you can enjoy being married to each other without intrusion.

Answer 2

You Don't

They Come With The Territory

Unless Of Course You Get Rid Of The Husband

Answer 3

We have to start with how hubby feels about this situation. Is he frustrated, too? Or does he see it another way?

If he agrees with you, then the two of you need to tell Mom that she either needs to stop butting in, or she needs to stop coming over. Period. That's it. Unless she's paying for your house, she doesn't write the rules.

If hubby sees it a different way, though, then the two of you need to work it out first and find a mutually agreeable solution. Then you would act on it together. I would suggest the two of you seek counseling together to face her. She sounds a little overbearing!

Good luck!

Answer 4

you aren't from now on going to get her to bypass away as she is your husbands mom and now a grand mom. i'd advise you positioned some obstacles and regulations which includes her. the subsequent time you tell her no at the same time as she provides your baby some thing you do not want her to 0.5 you get up and take it away, toss it interior the garbage and bypass into yet another room with the baby.

Answer 5

Make a suggestion that you guys stay at her house one night a week and then tell her business. When she confronts you about it, just say "what's good for the goose....."

Ive had 1 for over 30yrs,as annoying as she is,you have to respect the fact that she is your husbands mother.your hubby also needs to realise that you should come 1st in his life.iv'e had plenty rows with mine,but have never had a row with my hubby over her,if you start that,she's won.

Answer 7

Unfortunately, the best way is to get rid of your husband, too!

Answer 8

Be more annoying to her than she is to you...she will WANT to leave. This worked to get rid of my M-I-L when she moved in with us for almost a year. You have to be subtle though so you don't upset your spouse.

Answer 9

Get a divorce. Otherwise, realize that she is an important part of your husband's life and get over yourself.

Answer 10

Well how does she know all you problems? Try keeping to yourself and not share anything with her. Than you won't give her a reason to spread **** about you.
