When we came home she was back and asked us where were we. We told her and she acted like she was mad about it. I just don't understand what's her freakin problem. I do help out around here, but she is always unsatisfied. Does anyone have any similar stories?

honestly- i have learned not to go out of my way and not to expect anything... so do what you normally do and don't let her bother you. my m-i-l wants us to bend over backwards sometimes but won't lift a finger and i am a person who wants to please but enough is enough and now i do nothing!

It sounds like you are living in her home. What are the arrangements? Do you pay your share of the bills? what do you mean you help out around the house? You should be cleaning up your family's mess and then helping her with the other chores besides. And what about your man, what is he doing to help? Maybe your mother in law feels if you can afford to go out you can afford to contribute more to the household expenses. Put yourself in her shoes, how would you feel??

I do. My ex-husbands grandmother. We lived next door to her. She always expected me to do everything around her place then have the energy to do mine as well. She would also wait for me to go to work and take him out to eat or invite the family over for dinner at my house and leave me the mess to clean up when I got home. She put a lot of stress in our marriage and was a big part of the reason he is my ex. (Not the only reason he was no angel.) No house is big enough for two women under the same roof. As for you, she was probably mad because she felt you intentioally left her out. Which is of course your right to do. You and your husband Need space.

This is the universal perpetual Mom-in-law problem. I feel that this problem is in 95% households where the mom-in-law stays along with her son.

talk to your husband about it. you should be having a house of your own. don't let your mother-in-law rule the house... if it is her house, it's time for you and your husband to work hard to get your own house. and, sorry to say this, but your mother-in-law does have a freaking problem!!! she likely doesn't have a life and is jealous you have a life :)

What do you expect? You stole her junior. Does she live in your house? Then tell hubby to tell her to knock it off or you will. If you live in her house, tell hubby you want out of the house.
Benn there, done that.

all mother in laws are like that.. they were thinking that they were taken for granted by their son because of their wife.
