Come and tell me about how your MIL irritates you

[lagerandblack]

I have always got on well with my MIL and still do but she has started to irritate me lately and I wondered if anyone else had any pet peevs with regards to their MIL?
A couple of years ago MIL had a fall and broke her pelvis and ever since she has needed a "walking frame". She feels she cant manage without it and it goes everywhere with her when she leaves the house. So far no problem. However.....
...when she calls in to visit us she pushes the door wide open and then proceeds to ram the "walker" through the door with no thought to our front door or the paint work and then the same routine when she leaves.
If we casually ask her to leave it outside she replies "Ooohh nooo someone will pinch it"
I know, I know I shouldn't be bothered by this and I love her I really do, but my god it just pisses me off.
So I have started parking the car right up to the front door to make it more difficult and hoping she will actually leave it outside.
Please tell me I am not alone and there are other people out there with these irrational irritations?

My MIL doesn't use her walker indoors either here or at home. She had a zimmer frame here and at home when she was first mobile post accident, which was more appropriate for indoors (easier to lift over the sofa and into the car.) She only lives round the corner so we see her most days. We get on extremely well, I just don't want her damaging the walls, door and paintwork. However she wont give us chance to get to the door before she is struggling to get the walker in. I'm not being mean to her, I do plenty for her.

Bluetac some bits of cardboard or bubble wrap on the walls just before she visits.

Jesus, swap please ?
My MIL is one negative nagging bitch !
I have 2 children with a serious illness and she says I should try harder for them to do things (that physically they can't!!) and tells everyone I don't do enough, I do pretty much everything alone for my kids and DSC- 6 in total, 5 at home full time with me unless at school - as oh works away a lot!
Told OH she was ashamed of him been her son- he was in trouble when he was younger, was a total dick teenager won't lie (20 years later - now) he's a totally different man, grown up etc settled down and yet she's okay for us to pay for her holidays (suggested 60th present ) rob thousands off my oh, take all our old (new) furniture when we moved house and renovated then tells him this last week😤
Has all her DGC but won't have any of ours, says me and oh don't do enough with dc, we go out every Saturday for our family day as routine, go to our holiday home every school break we get , no one actually helps us with the dc, we're as his sister sends all 4 of her kids to her house from school on Friday- collects them Sunday night and goes straight the pub on drugs but she's gods gift ! Iv now refused to be around her!

Try having that for a MIL !

She doesn't. What is it with this site and the nastiness towards MILS?

By not bothering? I last heard from her in January. My husband last spoke to her prior to that. We do have a child that she doesn't bother with too, but does with her other grandchildren.
