MIL dropping by unannounced

Original post by smooch

DH and I got married not even a month ago. We live in a town where 4 of his (6) brothers live. His parents live a diagonal town up. His mom lives for her family because she spent her life raising them. All DH's brohters are married with kids. I guess they don't care if she just stops by.

I, on the other hand, care. I won't hide that DH and I have had problems with his family in the past, no matter how hard we tried to not be involved in problems. But DH wants to be part of his family (who doesn't?) so he doesn't like to rock the boat.

HOWEVER, stopping by our house without calling first is a no-no for me. What if we were running around naked? We're newlyweds, for crying out loud! Even if we weren't newlyweds, I like my privacy. I don't like people stopping by without calling first.

She stopped by Sunday late morning. I was cutting coupons, getting ready to go grocery shopping. DH was at Home Depot. I HATE grocery shopping. I was grouchy because I had to go. And I was not in the mood to host anyone.

I know she has (mostly) good intentions, but really now.. common sense.

Ok, just wanted to vent. I know it's not a huge deal, but it bugs me. Thank you for reading.

I HATE it too. My in-laws live 10 minutes away, and I cant stand it

Or they will call and say that they are just around the corner.

This is when I like living halfway across the country.
