Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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, 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

Escaping
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

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

Queue the endless woman hitler/mother-in-law jokes. Just say no, anyway she may be secretly nice.

I don't understand why all Americans hate their mother in laws my parents and my grandparents on both sides have a great relationship

A simple "no" should work!

Yeah. My mom will probably ask in the future too. It's a NO. If Dad asks no problem, he's chill. Just need to give him space, have our space & it's all good. Mom needs to commandeer everyone's lives and she's viscously negative. I'm not going to punish everyone else in the house including myself. Hopefully I have enough money to get her into a nice assisted community if she wants, but not with me.
