| monster in-lawI recently moved in with my fiance and we haven't been together for to long but we are so in love, I always noticed his mother called very often but now that we live together she calls even more ( about 5 times a day). Then she is always in our problems, she wants to know everything about anything.... It really irritates me and it I get really upset at him to the point where we fight about this because she is constantly asking what we are doing and where we are going and when we don't pick up the phone for any reason the calls do not stop.. I spoke to my husband about this and he says he will talk to her and he did.. But i don't think he made it clear enough beacause she keeps on.. I can't handle it anymore. My fiance can't control his mother and i don't want to deal with his issues of his mother obsession.. Im about to end the relationship..Am i wrong on the situation? |
| Liz, I had the same problem with my husbands mother. She would call to see how his day went, what he ate for lunch, and it would not suprise me if she asked what color his poop was. I finally had it and I just was not so nice when she called. I made a point to sound frustrated and busy. She finally got the point and stopped calling so much. Maybe this will happen for you. goodd luck. |
| You could of course do the opposite and be so nice and invite her over so much she gets sick of you! |
| By your subject line "MONSTER" in law, you are showing that to start with you don't have respect and are dealing with the situation emotionally and not logically. Try using a little respect (even when you talk to yourself about it) and see which comes first: the chicken or the egg! |
| I agree completely with Ed and Blake. See my message under "my wife's a bitch". It all comes back to your attitude. At least if you resolve YOUR attitude problem you'll be able to tolerate your "MONSTER in Law". |
| i would just alk to her myself. tell her she calls way too much. see if that helps. |
| It all boils down to you on how you manage stress and the irritating monsters in law. You can not escape the concern (or meddling) of a parent to her offspring. Try to understand them, maybe they are just so lonely on their home and would like to have a little attention. They are old and maybe it is up to you to understand them. If you don't want them to call you or contact you then I suggest you replace your phone line or mobile phone numbers so that they can not contact you. Problem solve.... NOT! |
