We all love the thought of our homes being peaceful and calm places. Carrie, on the other hand, is under a lot of stress because her mother-in-law keeps coming over for long periods of time without warning. The young mother came up with a plan to solve the problem, but her husband made things worse by accident. Now, Carrie looked for help online.
This is the letter from Carrie:
“My wife’s mother shows up at any time and stays as late as she wants. Some days she even sleeps on the couch.” The woman says, “My son’s house is my house.” I’m sick and tired of this. My kids need to go to bed early and get up early for school, and her sudden visits are making our lives hard. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands yesterday and made a schedule for her with times when she could visit.
As I gave her the paper, my husband looked at me and said, “I have a better idea.” Seeing his mom, he asked, “Mom, what if you moved in with us for good?” Since your dad died, you’ve been living alone in your house. The kids would love to have you over.”
I turned pale and asked to talk to him by myself.
He told me that the study isn’t being used by him, so we can make it her bedroom. He told me she would feel better once she had her own room in the house, and I would love having her around.
“If you do this, I’ll talk to her to make sure she doesn’t bother you or get in your way,” he said. Please be more understanding with her because she is my mother and an old lady.
My husband keeps saying that his idea will make things better for everyone, but I think it will make things worse. What should I do? I have no idea what to do.
Regards, Carrie”
