Mother-in law babysitting children

[Cowgirl]

If you say that I should be grateful and if it's not a big deal, well I think you are wrong. It's a big deal to me. It's my house and I don't want someone missing with my things. I can't take it.

Well then, SAY something to her. Biatching here on here to us isn't going to fix your problem.

The MIL is doing a very kind thing/service, she doesn't deserve to be called names and be spoken about behind her back.

See, and I think she's being a nosy instrusive biddy and Missy shouldn't have to put up with that.

Okay my husband and I have been fighting ever since his mother has been babysitting our kids while we are at work. My problem is that she baby sits them at our house. I don't like the fact that every single day she is over there. On top of it she does things that drives me crazy like moving things around to where she wants them, washing my clothes, the list goes on and on. He says I'm acting like a "little girl". I asked him to ask her to just babysit the kids. He won't do it. He says there is nothing wrong with what she is doing. It's driving me crazy. We can't afford to put them in daycare right now. Am I wrong and am I acting like a little girl or should he respect me and ask her to stop?

Move them back after she leaves, and wash your own nasty laundry and there won't be anything there for her to wash! Now shut up and enjoy the free nanny.

Well then, SAY something to her.

Cowgirl's right - you're going to have to just tell her to please not do your laundry, rearrange your things, etc.

They have a perfectly good trampoline to play on so I can't imagine that I would waste any time on underpants.

Does that mean you go commando on the trampoline?

She does. I've seen it. Want directions to Pete's? Bring beer.

My mom has pigs salt and pepper shakers. We rearrange them to hump.

Most people just pull back the comforter...

Boy is only 10 years old.

Bring beer.

And none of that Bud Light crap, either.

Vrai does have a foul mouth, but I never noticed the southern accent before...

Thank you.

I cannot imagine, griping about someone doing my laundry! I think you're crazy!

Finally, the husband speaks up.

It's your house....she shouldn't get mad. You should talk to her and let her know how you feel. It's probably the easiest way to resolve this.

Ok, the war has begun. You should get a hotel for a couple of nights, that hissy fit will straighten shiat out. Trust!!!

Oh, and I am with you on not liking what makes you uncomfortable. If it does, it does.

My cousin was staying with me for a while and to help out he would take my son's or my clothes out the dryer and fold them in neat piles. I have NO dressers, just a lingerie chest and all of my clothes are hung on hangers or folded in stacks on the closet shelves. Much of my son's are on hangers too.

I didnt like it but It motivated me to handle them as soon as they dried or at least put the stuff in baskets and then in my room until I could get to them. In his defense he left my unmentionables in the netted bags.

u know what I think?

I think you guys should be paying her. Give her a little something to show you appreciate what she's doing.

She feels she's entitled to do stuff in your home without asking because you guys aint paying her chit... lol

If you dont want her doing certain things, your going to have to pay her for her services and write up a legal contract.

i dont care if its your MIL....if its going down the way your hubby says its going down....PUT IT IN WRITING.....

Please explain to us what exactly it is that she's moving. Maybe that will "shed a little light" on things.

I got Red Karma for my comment(s):

Mother-in law babysitti... 06-13-2007 01:13 PM STFU

At least Vrai disagreed with me publicly...so much for discussing ideas.

So, well, no, I won't STFU

 

[vraiblonde]

You should talk to her and let her know how you feel.

Somehow I don't think that's going to work, considering MIL is pissed because Missy moved stuff around IN HER OWN HOUSE.
