Yesterday being the 3rd grandam was in a panic to go to k mart shopping. Well we to 3 junks stores to get Christmas presents for her daughter and grand kids. Then went to k mart to get games fr the Wii she has put in layaway and paid on it then went to wally for me to pick up a few things.
Hubby came home and was worried because we were not home. He done the dishes that sat there 3 days waiting for her to do them she promised and I have been running ragged. She decided she wanted to talk to wealthy friend about housekeeping job for her. Well she mentioned it to me and I said she would not want one. Well she went to hubby and mentioned it 2 him. He went wild and told she would not do housework here that I was wore out all the time. She said I didn't do much I stayed on the computer all the time . MY HOUSE IS CLEAN. I clean until bedtime sometimes and hubby gets pissed because I spend all day long picking up after her.
She said I cook dinner hubby said that is all u do.
I get the laundry when the dryer dings I dry towels and jeans only. so 1x every 2 weeks she folds clothes. I can 3 weeks and not do towels and 2 weeks and not jeans.
I pay the rent, hubby said I pay everything else including your meds and cigs. And other stuff.
Hubby yelled because she leaves the lights and tvs on and will not turn them off. AND SHE HAS EAT EVERY BITE OF HALLOWEEN CANDY.And is a diabetic she refuses to eat sugar free candy. She refuses to drink water.
She made my son pack my new recliner down stairs so she could use it and told hubby I said so I told her no that I wanted it. But she lied and took it because I do not have the heart to take it away from an old woman.
She has decided she wants a job as greeter at wally. She would go psycho she hates little children every noise makes her jump out of her skin.
I am going to go hide her phone or remote so I can drive her crazy.
This morning she washed a load of clothes, picked up her living room, and is cleaning up her room. She has decided on chicken and dumplings for supper.
Thanks for the vent she is nuts.... lol god love her little heart. The hard work won't last. Her brother mailed her some pain pills so she will be happy when she get them....

I hate to say it but sometimes you have to just 'grin and bare it' until these lil episodes are over. Glad to hear that your DH is finally seeing things from your perspective and stood up to her.

change takes time. You will prob. keep after her like a spoiled child. Make a jobs chart and include her. I wouldn't hide anything she's an adult. I might take it right if front of her face though.

you know her son or brother sending her prescription medications which i assume do not have her name on them is illegal . and even more so if they are narcotics .

Hugs. I know how difficult family can be, especially in laws. Wednes we just left my fil's and went to my work place then to pick up meds for my dh, while at Krogers his dad calls, it is an emergency, we need to go back to his house immediatley.

I get the meds it is 6:30 at night (DH and I haven't eaten all day, I am so hungry I could knaw off my arm) we go back to Ohio, the emergency is he wanted to give us a gun. I was pissed, I am sitting in the car eating KFC.

Bravo to your DH for taking your side about how his mother doesn't contribute to the household.

Well now you know she's manipulative and will try to pit your husband and you against each other. Take your recliner back and tell her that her behavior was unacceptable. She sounds just like my mom, I have to give her "the speech" once in a while too when she treats people badly (and I mean she treats everyone this way at times, not just me).

edit....I might add that I have gone to speaking about these things in a very calm business-like manner with my mom, and it seems to work. Something like..."you treated _______ very badly by being rude to her when she was trying to help you. This is unacceptable behavior..." seems to sink in at least a little bit. Sometimes I even calmly apologize for her behavior for her (with her present) if it's too bad. She tends to bite the hand that feeds her. I find yelling does very little but fuel the fire.

Also lock up things...like the candy.
