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-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

Free carer
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.

Mother in law is a perfect anagram for woman hitler. Definitely no

There still is a possibility of saying no.

Better pop the trunk on her!

Well, that's one way to get a divorce.

You ever yelled so loud you almost made someone's ear drums pop? Get ready, cause that's what you'll be doing soon.

Why don't you put her bedroom 6 feet in the ground? I'm sure she'll enjoy it.

That's illegal and will hurt many people. Violence is always the answer. I just had some toast in bed and I can feel the crumbs on my pillow as I type this, misspelling things on purpose and hoping autocorrect will save my ass. Ron Paul 2012.

If you value peace in your marriage, don't allow it! Even if you get along, it'll still cause problems at some point.

After my father in law passed, we lived with my mother in law for a bit to help her out. Really wasn't bad. She was a huge help, kept to herself and I got cookies on a regular basis. My husband was the one who couldn't take it. Funny. At the start I said no. He ignored me. We did it. He went nuts.

Now, I don't want to get between two Cat People, because that would be like putting out fire with gasoline, but I think Enslaved is right generally. A grieving widow is a special case. I'm trying to investigate another special case, but Bristol Palin won't return my calls.

Rofl. Hey I wouldn't recommend it of it can be avoided. Just know in some cases it can't. I always thought it was funny that it was the child who cracked first. The one all for it. But if it is one of those situations where it needs to be done, just got to try to make the best of it.

Yay! Free baby-sitting and constructive criticism! You should jump at this golden opportunity.

Just keep her in the basement.

Have fun explaining that one to the spouse

Should have thought of that before you married Raymond.
