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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mother-in-law asked if she could move in with us. 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, my mother-in-law announced that she's going to be moving into the apartment next to us. Oh joy. 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, after I just bought a house that is pretty good and suits all our needs for space, my in-laws moved in because they ran into financial troubles. Guess who is stuck with all the extra expenditures? 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, I found out that my mother-in-law is house hunting in my town. There is a house for sale two doors down from me. In her price range. FML
Today, I found out that my mother has been telling several people that my fiancé and I will be moving into her house for the foreseeable future. All because we're moving to a city close by for jobs and are still searching for housing. I found this out from several of the people she told. FML
Today, my in-laws moved in. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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

Okay, before I start giving advice on this topic: ignore every comment that says 'grow a pair', 'put your foot down', 'say no' or 'divorce her'. All of those are unhelpful and trying to direct you to be someone who can't compromise or solve problems and are basically saying that you should control your wife as if she is an out of control animal which is wrong, it should be an EQUAL partnership, not slavery where you can override any decision she makes. Now, to solve this problem, you need to talk to your wife. Bring it up vaguely at first by saying 'Dear, I wish to discuss something with you.' When she asks what it is, then tell her you wish to speak about her mother. Then tell her that you do not want to buy your mother-in-law a house and live with her because if you are buying a house, it should be for you and her, not your mother-in-law. Explain gently that you understand that she wishes to help her mother in any way possible and that she may move in with you both until she gets back on her feet but that it would be unwise to buy a house in this economy and it would be especially unwise to buy a house for someone else just because they have fallen on hard times. Listen to any points she makes and discuss the topic until you both come to a compromise and don't let it rise into an argument. You have to remain calm and not let annoyance or anger get the best of you as that will not solve the issue. Hopefully you will come to a compromise you both like, or at least a decision that you like better such as renting your mother-in-law an apartment instead of buying her an entire house.

You assume his wife will listen to him at all. She already agreed to the idea, so there's *no* sense in telling OP that the "grow a pair", etc comments mean anything. Nor do you understand that if he refuses to help her, it's not controlling. Controlling is when he's telling her what to do. Please, read through your posts before you do this again.
