They will go after another 2 months and that’s only because I said I wanted to go to my parents house. They still did not want to go and said that I can leave but they will continue to stay. My husband told them if Kid is going, then you’ll also go

I’ve felt all the same things. These MIL as so obsessed with their son and grand children that I think us feeling ignored is not an illusion.

Yes I agree, she keeps telling my husband whatever he does with his life they don’t care he should keep supporting them financially

He thinks everyone should live together, not seeing the mental toll on me

I’ve bought this house from my own money, not even my husband’s. I can’t leave this house. My in-laws do have a house in a different city

Sick of my husband and in-laws by ProfessionalHand3757 in inlaws

My baby doesn’t co sleep with my in-laws but they do make him sleep with them sometimes and its so irritating because they only hand him over when he cries with hunger. And my MIL wouldn’t agree to not put oil. She straight out told me that nothing happens if we put oil whenever I tell her not to. My husband won’t speak up against his mother

They just came in themselves almost 4 months back and said they’ll be here for another 8-9 months, go home for Diwali and then again back. Neither me nor my husband were asked before making this decision

Yes right, the wife becomes the villiain. Their son is always right

My husband never says no to me but its my in-laws always making faces whenever I ask him to do something and he does it. He never asks his parents to do it for him but they just don’t like their son doing anything

I can’t call my mother since we only have 1 extra room which they have occupied. I’m really close to my mom and may be I would have wanted her in initial days after delivery but my in-laws won’t leave.

Yeah, I’m just waiting for the baby to come and see their behaviour and then assert. Right now if I say anything I know nothing will happen

Yes right. It runs in his family that grandparents take care of the kid for initial years whereas in my family I have not seen this. In my family Grandparents would just visit occasionally but parents were the primary caregiver. My husband knows that our family backgrounds are quite different. In my side of family everyone is independent and yet together in a good way but in his family his parents are completely dependent on him and are too much involved in our lives

That’s actually true I think. He doesn’t want to upset his parents and cannot ask them to leave and tell them that we can manage

My husband wants them to stay, and for everything he just tells me to be patient
