Mother In-law

I love my boyfriend, but can't stand his mother. Too over bearing, controlling, and won't leave us alone to be our own family. Boyfriend doesn't want to tell her off for fear of hurting her feelings, but she is driving me crazy!!!! Any advice??

    Without more information it's hard to give you advice..from what you've said you need to set boundaries. I agree with your boyfriend about not telling her off, she's still family and she is probably is acting out of love.

    Agree with pp, there is a MIL rent forum daily, you should be able to search and find atleast 10.

    Also, mother-in-law is your husband's mom.... Since you said boyfriend, instead of husband, I assume you're not married, therefore she's not an "in-law" and you aren't obliged to please her as there are no legal ties.

    I mean obliged as in honoring your husbands mother, like you'd honor your own... I know I'm old fashioned, but I believe that you marry the whole family, not just the man. So, with that comes the respect they deserve as in-laws. Not that you're a doormat for your mil, just respectful.

    My advice is that boundaries need to come from your boyfriend. That would be the most appropriate scenario here b/c it's his mom. He should be the to help you out .... You're too pregnant to deal with any added stress in your life...you know what I mean?

    I hate to be the one to ask this but how old are you? Not saying you sound young or dont deserve respect of boundaries but my advice is different depending on your age. Since you said boyfriend and not husband that opens a lot of potential scenarios. It also depends on living situation. Are you out on your own living together? Or still living with parent? Are you both working or still requiring some support? That all changes my advice too.

    Long story short, I cant give advice with the limited context of your post. Elaboration please.
