~My Amusement For The Day~

I was in my room a lot today since I wasn't feeling great but I still heard the complaints when I did come out! So I didn't get to post this one because it was late but my husband borrowed his friends truck so he could take her to the store. He got off work around 9ish. He spent a little while with us first then went with her. She said I wish you would have taken me as soon as you got home so I would have more time to shop! This morning as my husband was about to leave the house for work she said do you have time to stop and buy donuts? He said no I really don't and she got huffy and puffy about it. I was in the bathroom at one point and she says the baby is crying. Ok, what would you like me to do right this minute? Really? She was told when she got here we don't eat spicy food. She makes jumbilyah for dinner and then gets annoyed no one ate it! Okay I'm done...that was fun and I feel better! Lol.

I don't get it. If I remember rightly (could be utterly mixed up and wrong here) aunt mary took in your husband when he was younger and that's a big reason for you helping her? If that's right was she not like this back then or did your husband just not notice? If she was nice back then what's made her turn a bit bitter? Obviously if I'm wrong about her taking your husband in just ignore my response

I'm guessing the difference was her husband didn't have a wife and children, so he was able to cater to her the way she wanted. Generally, the crazy only really becomes apparent when they stop getting what they want.

@yukimori maybe but if I'm right in what I think he'd have been a lot younger so wouldn't necessarily cater to her needs as such. Maybe not challenge her authority is the thing??? Who knows, but some people will try the patience of a saint and I'm not even religious

@Mike1976 You do have it right and it is different now because she went through a bitter divorce and she has some health problems that she hates the world for. She is never happy or satisfied anymore.

I still say she needs to be shown the door. Those first two are her trying to get your husband to recognize her as the #1 woman in his life right now. The third, she's implying that you're inadequate as a mother because you *gasp* occasionally have physical needs that you deal with when your baby wants something. The fact that you're moving is literally a godsend because it gives you a way to get her out of your home without the hassle of having to legally evict her. Seriously, you need her out of there. If she's there when you give birth, she's going to absolutely trash your postpartum period. You know how vulnerable that time can be. Don't give her that opportunity. I mean, really... is there a single positive thing she's bringing to your lives right now? The ability to share her BS here doesn't count, by the way...

@yukimori I always feel like she's putting me down for my parenting skills or my wifely duties... The two things I personally think I do well! I try not to let those things get to me because I know I'm a good wife and mom no matter what she thinks or says. When she finds out she's sleeping in the garage there's no way she's going to stay. She already complains about the room she is in being too cold every day. I'm going to make it VERY clear to my husband that she cannot be there after I have Josiah (if she even chooses to stay in the garage at all). I cannot handle her around through that time, no way! I will put my foot down on that one. No, there's nothing good coming from this at all...except for her having a roof over her head. Nothing good for our family, no.

I'm not sure our advice is welcome anymore. I totally agree, she needs to get this poison out of her house.

Your husband has to throw her out, she must not stay with you one more day.

@LadyDuck, not an easy thing to do for him. But, still, it must be done and ASAP.

@LadyDuck Not a good thing for that young family to allow that woman to stay there.

@marlina I agree, that woman will ruin their relationship if she stays.

You must be a very patient person. Did your kids try the jumbilyah? Maybe, they would have liked it. I hope this works out for you and your family. It sounds like she is looking for ways to be difficult.

@akalinus Yes I made them try a little bit of it last time she made it and they didn't like it. I'm not forcing them to eat something spicy though when I know they hate it... I think she might be...

@Happy2beme It's either that or she's been bitter and ungrateful for so long that it just comes naturally now... Sad either way.

I don't understand why she isn't helping out more. It seems that all she's really doing is complain. Maybe it's just me, but that's what it sounds like.

Wow what part does not understand your man works to support you and your kids and she should understand your family does not like spicy food she should have asked before she made it. The closer moving is getting I am sure you are hoping she don't come. Glad you feel better now thag you got that out.

Why didn't she check on the baby. I was hoping she would help you around the house.

@jstory07 Yeah you would think she would have but nope. Not a help except that she likes to clean, which I honestly don't care much about. I would rather my kids be happy.
