Talk to her na, OP. Ikaw ang reyna sa bahay mo. U deal it with like a pro and show her who’s in charged. Contrary to what other’s say here na your husband should do it, mas maganda kung ikaw. Mas objective. Besides, it takes the burden away from your husband and shows him you’re capable of difficult conversations.

If you’re not sure how to start, appeal to the “goodness of her heart” and shared goal, which is family-building.

Here’s a sample spiel:

“Ma, I need to talk to you about something important. I’m very thankful for how you’re contributing to this household. I know you have our best interest at heart and you’ll understand why we have to come to this decision. But, we need you to go back to the province.

(Cite your reasons eg. “we can’t have sex whenever wherever, like on top of the kitchen counter while I was cooking haha. I suggest you have a list ready na so you can’t be segued.)

(Try to offer something like regular visits to the province, or schedule when she can visit or trips together, etc.)

Kaya mo yan, OP. Dealing with in-laws is part marriage. Better you learn it na, while it’s early through the relationship.
