MIL

[ronson02]

So I do get on with my MIL but she does come out with comments to my husband when I am not around moaning, (we do live with them, and no way of moving out atm) we have a one year old, she said she would look after this morning while I went to the hairdressers.
She then told my husband while I was out, that I shouldn't get my hair done and he should control me, as to where I get my hair done and when!
Apparently I'm not even allowed to go to the hairdressers!
I don't understand all these little comments to my husband as there have been more!

She's UR to make these comments. How does your DP react? I hope he puts her straight about the equality in your relationship and your right to have a haircut!

But it's not working. You need to move out. It must be difficult living together, with a young baby. Do you work - I only ask that to gauge how much time you are all in the home getting under each other's feet

How do you know this?

Trying to play devils advocate, are you paying rent/contributing to bills?

@Gazelda thank you, my MIL works 3 days a week, I am trying to get back into work, but it's not easy- had 7 interviews but got none, I am trying to move out ASAP! He told his mum, he wasn't going to control me!

@PurpleDaisies my husband told me, yes we do pay rent- not bills, have asked to contribute but they don't want us too!

No need for your husband to tell you what she said as he should deal with her by telling we that he doesn’t want to hear any negativity from her about you and will not listen if she starts.

That should end it.

By telling you it’s like he wants you to have a go back at her and this only creates more tension.

So all you can to move out ASAP.

That's great that you're getting loads of interviews, you've obviously got skills that people are looking for. Fingers crossed you get a job offer soon.

As to your MIL, is it possible that the tone is getting lost through the Chinese whispers? What I mean is, is it possible that she said "of course I'll look after DGC. But I thought DDIL had her hair done only a few weeks ago? And has she thought about going to Supercuts on the Hi St rather than Tony & Guy because I know how hard you're both trying to save at the moment?"
