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

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

Tell her the f@#$ off she should be taking care of her self

That's a dvorice waiting to happen.

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.

She just wants your wife's pies.

Answer = No, just 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...

You need to grow some balls and tell her to do one

I told my husband if his mother ever moves in... I'm moving out! Made that clear before we even got married.
