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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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-law asked if she could move in 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, 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
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 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, my mother-in-law yelled from across the house for me to come quickly. She sounded frantic, so I rushed and asked what was wrong. She said, "Nothing." and that she just wanted to remind me that she hates my guts. She'll be living here with me and my wife for the next two months. FML
Today, I found out that my toxic mother-in-law's retirement plans include moving in with us when she gets old. The death glares I’m getting from my wife right now are so worth the satisfaction I got from telling that evil old bat I’d burn the house down first before I let her move into it with us. FML
Today, my boyfriend threw a fit because I "still" live with my mother at age 30. I bought her an apartment in my building and hired a live-in nurse because she is senile and permanently bedridden. FML
Today, my mother-in-law moved into my wife's two-bedroom apartment. She's quite possibly the reincarnation of Hitler himself, and she'll be staying until this time next year. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It is obvious that she is doing this out if evil intentions so maybe try to put her in a nursing home and visit her every week at least.

Yeah it's totally acceptable to say no to that.

Simple, tell her no. She shouldnt have sold her damn house without talkng to you about it. Let her go buy a new house with the money from the sale of her old one.

So your wife can't stand her own mother?

Can you blame her? Look at the type of mom she has.

Uuhh I love my mum but I don't like her, the feeling is mutual. Not every mother and daughter have that "best friends" thing going on

Yep. Same here, #35. If my mom did that, I'd tell her to get her ass on up the road. Probably not in those words, but still :P

Pick her up along with 7 days worth of clothing (for her), then drop her off at the cheapest and worse care home you can find.

she can't move in with you if you don't let her so just tell her no and leave it at that.

tell her no and if she insists, call the police on her, she for trespassing.

"mother-in-maw" is the best way that phrase could possibly have been misspelled.
ShoyuSauceSoup 26
Yeah...I agree with that. I'm Brazilian, and "maw" sounds like "mal", which means "evil" in Portuguese.

the mental image of a giant mouth swallowing OP's spouse's mother is pretty amusing.

Tell her the marriage is still young and you're too busy banging all over the house and you want to enjoy an actual effing relationship with the person you love before all your time gets consumed by little monsters. It's kind of critical for you guys to get your shit sorted and just have a few years to settle, enjoy each other's company, and master running a household without the stress of a grouchy old freeloader with no respect for you, your relationship, or your home. "Surprise, I am moving in!" "No, surprise, I will light you on fire". If she had financial issues, she should have asked politely and made plans that you guys agreed to. She will wear out her welcome by the time she needs her diapers changed and be stuck in a home away from family, is that really what she wants?

Grow a pair and dont let her.

Just don't let her. It's your house, she doesn't get to decide that she's going to live there, you get to decide that. Who cares if it pisses her off.
