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, I had my first day off in six months. My mother immediately came down to my room and demanded that I clean the entire house. As I was cleaning, she said, "You don’t get to relax. Ever. Lazy ass." FML
Today, I came home from a long shift at work to find that my roommate had completely rearranged all of the furniture. Apparently the new arrangement is supposed to improve the feng shui of our apartment. My bed is in the living room. FML
Today, I came home after a long day at work to find the furniture in my living room had been rearranged by my mother-in-law. When asked how she got in, she told us she stole my husband's key and made herself a copy. She can now come here whenever she wants, unless I change the locks. FML
Today, in the entire half-hour since my mother-in-law reached our home, she's inspected and criticised every aspect of our home, despite things being spot clean. And sermoned me non stop on how to "live". My husband still wonders why I don't want her visiting. It"s going to be a long two weeks. 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 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, 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, it seems that I can't enjoy one fucking weekend without my mom finding work for me to do to take up my time, and I'm sick of it! FML
Today, my mom told me to clean the house up because she wants to make good impression on the cleaning lady. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The word is NO. Meet it. Use it. Make it your own. You're going to need it with this mother-in-law.

Politely tell her you have prior engagement with a co-worker or boss, idk and just go put with some friends, have a beer, a burger, catch a ball game... If she wants to reaarange the house let her do it on her own!

Or you can tell her to 'F' off. It's your house and it will be arranged how you like it OP, not how she wants it.

You are an adult and she is a guest in your home. Tell her no. Do something else.

And that's where you say, "No. This is my home and I have my furniture the way I want it. I will take your suggestions into consideration in the event I decide to rearrange my living room in the future, but that will not be happening today." Start polite, but if she persists, tell her in no uncertain terms that this is your house and she will leave your things alone. She can rearrange her own living room when she gets home.

Should've told her to go for her life and then went to bed.

Move a lamp two inches to the left. Job finished.

YDI. I see FML's like these all the time. I don't understand why adults act like children when their parents visit. No need to make up an excuse either, just say "No, not today, this is my only day off and I just want to relax". It's that simple.

Easier said than done but it is your house, tell her you don't want to rearrange it. Repeat that you don't want to, if she keeps pestering you.

Thats absolutely rude, its not her decision IF you need to rearrange anything or WHEN. Show her the comments here.

Tell her to use a back brace so she won't hurt herself and to send you a picture when she's finished.
