i cope with my inlaws by drinking!

any functions at their place hubby is always the sober driver... i do it hard when pregnant!

anyway liz if her doing housework drives you bonkers make sure you do it first! or jump the gun and ask her before she does on her own accord.

thats all i can offer in the way of help... my MIL would never clean my house. and i wouldnt clean hers.

do it first? Oh Deb!

When we stay there I always help out so I guess I will try and remember that. it would be easier if she was a total cow cause i could be bolshy back - but she is really just so lovely. Just leave my kitchen alone lady and don't rearrange things!

Nothing...it's just the name that MIL has decided is perfect for my child & that she is determined to call her whether I like it or not. Silly cow.

It may be a pain but she isn't being nasty and it could be a whole lot worse.

I would love to have a mum or mil who would do stuff for me!

I say enjoy it

odettenz - that is just bizarre naming your daughter for you. Yeah i'd pi** her off by naming her Scarlett too!

My mil is fine - my only gripe is that i thought she would come over occasionally to see her grandson, but only ever comes when we have a function like a birthday or whole family bbq. Could have used some help in the early days with a baby. I'm sure i won't see her this time either.

My mum is the one that drives me up the wall tbh. Luckily she lives in Aus so i only see her once a year and man it's hard to handle a week of her living with us. I just find her to be the most annoying human being ever! Deep unresolved issues there or what!

Odette, my SIL called her first child by the name she chose, cause she didn't call him by the name MIL chose, MIL never bothered with him & then had the cheek to bollocks me about when he had a baby & she didnt' get told about it! She had no hope in hell of having a chance at even suggesting our kids names!

I've found out that my MIL is coming down in Feb. Hopefully she'll only stay a few days.

Liz...re arranging...feel for you on that one! When we put our new kitchen in I wanted to go through everything & sort out the crap & only keep what I'll need. My Mum tried each time when she came around to put stuff away for me
