Today, I found out that my unemployed and very needy mother-in-law will be moving in with us soon. And during my conversation on the phone with her, she expects us to buy a house and my wife and I can "live with her." My wife agrees with all of this. FML

Today, my mother-in-maw informed us that she sold her house and is moving in with us so we'll "take care" of her in old age. She's in perfect health. We've only been married for 4 months. My wife can't stand her for more than 2 weeks at a time, let alone living with us. FML

Today, I came home from a week-long vacation, only to find my mother-in-law didn't just dog-sit while I was gone; she moved in, along with all her possessions, and seems to think it's a permanent deal. FML

Today, after I just bought a house that is pretty good and suits all our needs for space, my in-laws moved in because they ran into financial troubles. Guess who is stuck with all the extra expenditures? FML

Today, my husband told me that he's letting his mother move in with us. He told her it was alright without even consulting me first. I hate my mother-in-law so much that I'm contemplating divorce rather than living with her. FML

Today, I found out that my mother has been telling several people that my fiancé and I will be moving into her house for the foreseeable future. All because we're moving to a city close by for jobs and are still searching for housing. I found this out from several of the people she told. FML

You might want to go ahead and stop your mother-in-law now before you have two wives.

So OP's mother in law wants OP to buy her a house then move in with her. Usually I advise communication in such matters but I'm tempted to say put your foot down in this case and say no.

Not just "NO", but "HEEEELLLLLLLLLL NOOOOOOOO" I understand the desire of OPs wife to take care of her mother (OPs MIL), but that shouldn't come with preconditions. This is a discussion topic, not a "thou shalt..." topic.

This is a time to sit down, talk with your spouse,and work out a compromise. If you do NOT want to live with this woman, you shouldn't have to. Be sure any compromise does not include things like 'she will only stay for a little while' because we all know what THAT will mean right? Offer to pitch in for expences, to help her find a place or whatever,and remember the difference between a hand up and a hand out,etc... Good Luck, and do your best to not look like an ass when talking with your spouse about this...
