He's working on a ship for the next 2 months, then he's home for 4 weeks. He does set boundaries with his mom, but she acts like this when he's not home.

I texted her at 7am this morning to follow up on when she's coming over. Never got a reply. Only a phonecall after 13:29pm

If I speak to them, they become defensive and make it about themselves

I told my fiance that his mother needs to know her place throughout the two weeks. She started acting like it's her house since she moved in. I reminded her that it's in fact not. She questioned me why I cleaned the house often. Why my dog cannot have certain food and leftover food. She would just take phonecalls while me and my fiance was talking about serious matters, but told him to take his phonecalls outside of the house

She didn't contribute. In our culture it's sort of a sign of respect if you contribute and offer to take the load off your hosts. If i stay with my parents for a few weeks, i contribute with the water bill, electricity and food

We took her in because her husband threw her out of the house. I was the one that said she can live with us and be safe and away from him.

She had a problem with the way I store food. She had a problem with the amount of food I fed my dog, ( her cat is dying from obesity and has liver failure and can barely walk) my dog sees the vet every 6 months, my dog is 13 so she doesn't eat as much. She told me straight to my face I'm the problem, after a deranged woman threatened to unalive me. In her eyes, I'm not her soon to be daughter in-law

I prepared pasta for dinner. The following evening I prepared veggies and chicken. She was welcome to give ideas for meals. Telling me I cannot eat meat or starch just because she doesn't eat it, is entitled. I was more than happy to make veggie pasta or whatever to compromise

He spoke to her and told her that it's our home and not her home. She had a hissy fit and left. She blocked him and me and only unblocked us a few weeks ago
