MIL vent continued.

I'm sorry I know you are probably all tired of hearing about my MIL but Im going crazy ( you'll note this happenns ONLY when Im going to see her )

well we have a closing date of next thursday for our house. Im so excited!!! Well the bad thing is that's the day she is supposed to
come and visit. Keep in mind we see her once a year as she lives in Canada.

WELL this is just bad timing and I *WISH* it were different I really do the kids and DH both should get to see her and I wouldnt ever stand in the way of that .

I am more than willing to have her come and visit that is not the issue at all! The issue is the house closing and us moving means we wont really get to spend any time with her at all. She had agreed that if the closing date fell on when they were suppose dto be here she would just not come. It really isnt fair to anyone.

Well dh asked her yesterday if they could postpone their trip ( their driving they have no reservations or anything) and she said "NO were coming, why do you have move that weekend? cant you just postpone your move???"

excuse me????




We have waited and waited to get a house, done everything we were supposed to do and it just HAPPENS to be the wrong date. If I could move in today I would but I dont want to have be out another weeks rent or live here any longer than I have to. Does that make sense? Are we being unreasonable?

UGH Help please!

{{{HUGS}}} I'm so sorry! I would go right ahead with my move and if it bothers her then I'm just so sorry. She knew ahead of time that ya'll were going to be moving and your DH even gave her the opportunity to reschedule her visit.

Maybe I'm being a little harsh, I don't know but I can't stand my MIL and thankfully DH can't either and she is almost 100 percent out of our lives which is the absolute best thing that has ever happened to either one of us and to John-Cole. So when I see MIL I automatically compare everyone else's with mine. The wicked witch of the United States.

{{{HUGS}}} again!!! I'm so glad you are finally closing and getting a house.

I was trying to post this on the duplicate I think - sorry if it comes up twice!

Oh Binny - I'm sorry you have this added stress! I agree with SeaShelley - although I think I'd call myself & say "I'm so glad you're coming that weekend as DH can really use the help with the move!"

If they insist on coming & won't help, maybe there's someplace "exciting" that they could take the children for the day. That way the children would have time with them & you wouldn't have to worry about them (the in-laws) being in the way or having to "entertain" them.

Congratulations on your house! I hope you find a solution or are able to ignore it - nothing should spoil this for you!

You are not being unreasonable your MIL is. It's very difficult to come up with a date that is agreeable to both parties buying and selling. Tell her come on dow, but you are going to be busy and don't let her make you feel guilty. You have her plenty of notice.
