I am off today an tomorrow and told my wife I am spending the whole day butt naked, and all the way till next week my apartment will be clothing optional zone!
My MIL moves in with us officially and semi-permanently next week. A few issues with the family and her needing to take some time out from the family drama lead to this. She felt she was being taken advantage off (which she was) and abused; she will miss them and she loves them dearly but feels visiting every 2-3 months for a week or two will be more appropriate.

Nice. Not what I would choose to do with my day off, but more power to you. Just don't turn suddenly or you are apt to knock something off a shelf.

TMI!!!! But if you don't like her living there I suggest you do that while she's there.

I know you are all close but you don't even need childcare yet!!!
Will she be paying off your wife's SLs in exchange for free rent?!
Good luck Carl and Mrs Carl!

So is MIL really escaping family drama or is she just bringing it to Boston?
Remember how smugly you replied on the other thread that all you had to do to stop the drama and mooching was move 4 hours away... You might have answered a little too soon.
Anybody want to start a betting pool on how long it takes before extended family drama is drawn back into the Cawiau household? I've got $20 on 4 days.

I can't imagine what they are thinking. IVF, grad school, phd, her new job, trying to buy a house, and now MIL. Are we sure Carl hasn't morphed into Doxie?

Simple physics where the speed of the vector is directly related to the cosign of the centrifugal force of the turn.

Party Time at the Cawiau's! Good Luck with MIL & how nice that she sees you as a refuge from drama!! You are officially a success now It must be good for her to know she had an escape hatch AND that she was recognizing that her help wasn't helping but enabling & she was being taken advantage of. Sad as a parent to realize that is going on, but good that she is taking steps to escape it & you can help. Make sure you set firm ground rules on keeping the drama out. Plus you need to make sure that if she decides to continue to enable, that your wife can't deal with that stress & MIL will not be able to continue staying at your place. PS - Can you take wife's credit cards away? Isn't mom a shopping enabler . . .

Anyone who's been on her any amount of time knows that Carl's wife has his cojones firmly locked within her Coach purse. The only difference now is that her and MIL get to split the pair.

You and the Mrs. just have too much going on right now. And whatever drama she has going on is going to follow her like ants to a honey hole. Taking time out from family is fine. The word "no," a locked door and an unanswered phone is a good start. Running to your place is merely a change of venue. They will find her.

I'd go nuts....well, more nuts than I am now. I actually am looking forward to it. My wife doesn't get home till 7:30 PM and with one class on Thursday she won't be getting home till 11 PM. I am taking classes on Tuesday-Wednesday and Thursday and those days I won't be home till 10:30 PM. Monday I usually close at work so 10:30 PM. So it helps her out (away from the drama) and help us out: someone to be here with Max etc. also knowing her we won't have to worry about the cooking, cleaning and laundry... Win-win

Win-win Ok, so if I had a live in housekeeper / cook / dog walker that I would practically never see and didn't have to pay, I'd probably be ok with it too. Unfortunately, I don't think either my stepmom or MIL would be good with that,

Good for you! Enjoy! I always find your attitude refreshing.
I don't think you'll allow the family drama to take over your house. I think you've got this covered. Enjoy the rest of your time off!

Win-win That is really all that happened when my mom stayed with us for a few months. I came home to a very clean house. She really did more housecleaning/laundry than I wanted her to. the kid drama was toned down because she would usually calm them down before they turned into teenaged sized monsters. The only issue I had was the need for adult play time without my mom twenty feet away from time to time.
