angry??

I feel so moody and pissed off so much now. Little things I used to ignore so well are not easy anymore. Like today I'm cutting my honey's hair and his brother walks through the pile of hair instead of going around. wtf??!! grr.. sometimes I want to scream. Maybe it's because we're staying at his parents to save money and they're soo opposite from my family. The fact that no one talks about any of the problems going on and ignores it. Seriously!? If you have a problem you're supposed to address it like an adult and move on. Not make snide remarks or hint at something. I told my honey that if this continues I will move back in with my mom or dad instead of this bs. I know his parents are helping us save money so we can buy a house and I'm grateful, but I'm not in any mood to deal w/ this crap.

I can totally understand where you are coming from.  When DH and I got married, MIL was part if the deal (she is older and it would be hard for her to live on her own).  It is a difficult adjustment to live with a parent who is not your own and very different from your family!  How long do you and DH plan to stay with your ILs.  Maybe keeping a countdown until you are out of there and in your own house will help you keep things in perspective.

We lived with DH's parents for years. When we got engaged and started looking at places, they offered to sell us their home (4 bedrooms) and they were going to build a "smaller" home next door to SIL. We thought it was a great idea for a number of reason (great area, nice home, etc.). Well, DH's family own kind-of Home Depot place and know a ton of contractors so we figured we'll have the house in a year or so. Fast forward 4 years. I have learned that FIL is the most anal "I must do it myself so that it's perfect" OCD PAIN IN THE BUTT! He literally laid their kitchen floor himself so that the plank colors would blend. I understand wanting it to look nice, but the man is 70 and it took him almost 3 months! You can imagine how everything else went. The best part? They built an exact replica of the house they sold us (apparently FIL doesn't like change). Had we known then, we never would have done it, but live and learn. Best of luck to you.

Remember, as frustrating as the hormones are right now, they are hormones none the less and moving away isn't adult-like behavior either. Talk out those frustrations as a group so the whole family can learn to better live with each other. Good luck!
