Well for starters only tell her what you feel she needs to know , The following work well for me but may not for you.
I dont mean any disrespect but Im sorry I dont feel comfortable talking about that
why do you want to know ?
you can try changing the subject or asking about something she likes to get her off topic, It also depends on the topic of her intreast.
It took about a year to break mine of the habit and we get along great now that she and i have worked out our limits

let your husband know whats going on and set her up leave something sitting out that she would not want to see. It might take a few times but she just might stop being nosey. if that does not work when you go to her house start to be nosey at her house and do it in her face.

You don't. Your MIL is your husbands mom, & therefore his responsibility. If your relationship with your husband is healthy then he will stand with you on issues you have with his mommy, so discuss the problems you have with her to him, & expect him to come up with the right way to handle it.
I wish you had given us the dirt on your nosey MIL in the details of your question. Ooops! that's nosey in itself isn't it. But that's 1/2 the fun of Yahoo Q&A. Well maybe next time. LOL :)

set firm rules tactfully....
your house is your castle..... if she is snooping in rooms clearly state which ones are off limits......
designeate a guest bathroom if you have more than one.... put your bathroom with a "private" sign.
if its conversation... when ever its a topic you dont want to discuss tell her " i'm not comfortable talking about that" " that is a private matter"
"i respect your concern but this issue is between me and my spouse"
then move on to somthing else... her garding club... the kids did the cutest thing today.. etc...
talk to your spouse about acceptable topics and unacceptable ones.... talk about limiits on visting or visit her so you can leave when you wish... good luck

I am dealing with mine. Mine doesn't care to listen to anything...Now a days when ever she has something to say, i tell her to discuss it with her son. If she has something to ask me then i say, I am not quite sure about it. i have to ask my husband and find out wht he thinks

i had this problem, and my guy would not see that it was a problem, it wasn't just his mother but his sisters too. and i just didn't talk to them about things that i didn't want them to know, until i was pushed to a point of annoyance, then quietly and calmly told them it was not there business. which only made them mad and made them not talk to me, problem solved.

be as nice as you can possible stand to be. that will make her think that you are up to somethink and then she will be to busy trying to figure that out to bother you. and you must tell your hubby to talk to her, and let her know that it is bothering to him as well ( even if it is not)
