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

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.

That's just not right.

mine is already here. say no if you can.. even if you get along there'll be problems that create tension in your relationship. but be careful... telling any significant other anything negative about a family member can be tricky. so be cautious and tactful.

Of course you should let her move in! Be sure to explicitly explain the house rules. 1) Saturday is reserved for naked breakfast. She is not allowed to partake because you already have to sweep enough dust and debris in the house. Her dry Sahara would only make a bigger mess. 2) You make love where ever you please. So in those sporadic moments she must take your dog around the block. 3) which is the most important, she has to clean up your mess for free. If she obliges you have a free maid, if not good luck at family reunions.

Well if life gives you lemons you make lemonade; if life gives you the devil you run, run long, run hard, run fast.

This comment is wrong in so many ways my head hurts just thinking about it.

If you whine to your spouse for sex in front of her, maybe she wouldn't want to stay for too long.

Just tell her you're swingers and if she moves in, and attendance is mandatory. FYL if she agrees.

If she's a nice mother-in-law then there shouldnt be a problem. If she's a b*tchy one... FYL

There's no such thing as a "nice mother in law".
