mother in law coming to live with us

Op....Remember ,they are coming to your house. You are the queen of your home.
Treat them with respect and appreciate their help.
Don't change too many things around.
Prepare husband for the jobs he will be expected to chip in with.
Take it easy during the first few months.
The sightseeing and shopping etc can wait for the later years.
If things get too much and you need your space...tell husband to take them around for a few days.
Best Wishes.

 

I would say:
1. Get your wardrobe ready with maternity jeans/t-shirts, etc which you can wear before delivery and post delivery. Get rid of all Indian dresses or keep the ones which won't fit you. You will not get time to shop after delivery and will have no choice, but to wear jeans.
2. Get an ipad to watch whatever you want post delivery. It will be fair to leave the TV to MIL. Also, this will keep her occupied and will let her mind her business.
3. Get the snacks, baby clothes, feed stuff and all. Don't shop with her. Shop before she comes.

 

i am not able to stop imagining my MIL in victoria secret seriously she surely can do if anyone gives her introduction to all these things when she came to wear jeans and t shirt she wanted to wear all young girls clothing and used to want to wear same thing like me even bought some but since nobody of her age women used to wear like that she returned them

My MIL not only crossed her limit but at places she was inhuman too....... she did not allow me eat food till 4 in the noon with no breakfast!!!! you are right we should not allow MIL to go over board...... she can change into demon and that is what happened with me i learnt in a hard way but no problem i treated her a lot better and gave respect more than my own mom thinking she is my husband's mom......., she was unlucky to not appreciate it and now lost the one person who used to care for her..... she has made the situation so worst that today i don't even like to talk to her..........

 

hilarious but meaningful..

 

According to me, live as usual. Privacy stuff is hard. And lastly:-

1. Wait till mil arrives.
2. Watch out how she behaves.
3. Follow any answers applicable to her behaviour from this thread.

You will be fine, take one day at a time. Best luck!
