Tactfully, no

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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-law announced that she's going to be moving into the apartment next to us. Oh joy. FML
Today, my in-laws moved in. 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, while I was looking for an apartment for my boyfriend and myself, he asked me how would I feel about his mom moving in together with us. FML
Today, my mother-in-law showed up unexpectedly, made passive aggressive comments to my kids in front of me about how we need a bigger place to live, and asked questions about our income. We're actually trying to move soon, and just hadn't told them yet so they wouldn't try to follow us. 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, my flatmate moved in with me. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to me, so did her mother. FML
Today, my mother-in-law moved in with my husband and I, where she shits the bed and herself. There's a waiting list for the nursing home, so in the meantime I’m cleaning up her shit and she isn’t even my mother. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

She asked, so you can say no. Say no. For the love of god, say no.

Well, really, it depends on the situation.. How longs she wants to stay, why she wants to stay. If she's divorced or widowed and got evicted or something I'd hope you'd help her on her feet again. If she just wants to move in for ***** and giggles, then screw that!

Nooooooooo. No, no, no.

I hope your mother-in-law dosen't suffer from CBD (Chronic Bitch Disorder).

Did you know that if you change around the letters of "mother in law" it spells "woman hitler"?

Well if she isn't that bad of a mother in law I don't see a problem if she dislikes you your screwed

I'm pretty sure "if she isn't that bad of a mother in law" OP would not have even posted the FML... It's kind of common sense you silly goose :D
Michael_92 20
Nah she's totally awesome. Can't you tell from the excitement just oozing out of the op?

I don't care how much you love your family. The moment they move in with you and your SO you start to ******* despise them.

I'm sorry to hear that, my sympathies.

She asked, doesn't mean you have to say yes.

True that, this is one of my biggest fears. Luckily I will say NO! Since I know she is planning on asking someday.

I agree with 88. Even though she's your mother-in-law you still have your free will. So don't be a pussy, stand your ground and say: Hell no!

I think I would put my foot down and give an ultimatum to my love, at the price of being a brat. Her or me. She would consume my life, and make it miserable. I'd have no choice

This is only an FML if the spouse said yes before OP had a chance to say no.

You should tell her that you don't think there is enough room at your house but you would love for her to come and visit for a couple of hours.
Roevera 14
and if there is enough room?
So2011 4
I'm saying op should lie and say there is not enough room.

If OP doesn't mind spending a few weeks on the couch. "Just say no" didn't work for Nancy Reagan, and it probably wont work for OP.

Then she will use her voodoo magic and make your head explode.

Mine suggests that a LOT, fyl, it sucks to not have alone time, especially with your partner. D:

Mine suggested my husband rent a place for her and him to live together... We currently live on under $700 a month at my parents... While I'm pregnant trying to save the $700 a month... She lived with us 8 months and it's the reason we aren't on our own any longer... Just a few more months and I'll be able to buyy own place! Once I get a job after my son is here...

If you choose to accept this challenge, your only help is mother-in-laws for dummies - good luck.

I can see the mother-in-law's FML now: "Today, I asked my seemingly wonderful and perfect daughter/son in law if I could move in with them and was rejected. FML."

She must be old if she doesn't understand that couples need a LOT of alone time.
