MIL has “popped” round to see the baby (who is sleeping). She’s desperate to bloody well wake him up and bloody well won’t go home (she had been sat here an hour and a half with her feet up on the sofa).

This is a regular occurrence and she sits here for hours - arghhhhhhh!

AIBU to want my house back?!

Also lock your door!

Oh dear. I feel like I'm going to be this MIL in the future.
I already know I'll be obsessed with seeing my future grandchildren and my DS's are only young.
Must start taking notes on what not to do!

2 days home from hospital with ds2, ds1 was 5 at the time. DP worked as a carer at the time, so the boy he cared for wanted to come visit the baby, lovely I thought, however, his auntie who I had never met, and his other carers who I had also never met came too. Turned up at 5pm, stayed until 9pm on a Thursday night! So couldn't even make dinner (in hindsight, I should have just went and done it, but I was I pain and wasn't thinking very clearly)
My mum popped in about 3 hours into the visit and I cried to her in the kitchen because I was exhausted and in pain and bloody starving, also fucking furious at dp for allowing it. My mum was so angry and nearly went in to say something but I stopped her. Stupidly.

If I have another one (unlikely) no visitors out with immediate family for at least a week!

Oh sorry OP just read properly and notice this is a regular thing. That sounds like hell.

Handprints2018 · 23/01/2019 19:23

Lock the door in future.

Put on tv while she is here (some people may say rude but i think letting yourself in and intruding is far ruder.)

Set boundries and enjoy your cake.

Lock the door. Turn the doorbell off. Move car off the drive so she thinks you're out!

CantWaitToRetire · 23/01/2019 19:54

@iagreewithmrsdevere @planespotting you could have a range of mats. I suggest also:

You are not welcome

Just turn around and go home

Sorry no visitors today

Invited guests only

I honestly don't understand people putting up with this shit.
Thread after thread of people not opening their mouths and telling people to respect their bloody boundaries.

Tell her not to pop round without a phone call first to check it's ok. If she does overstate her welcome, tell her to go home!

Overstay
