MY MIL is lovely, she really is and we have a great relationship but whenever she comes to ours - in wind, rain, sunshine - she will not take her shoes off.
Once, she trod mud through our house and the carpet is still brown in that area - it had been raining horrendously.
We are about to buy a new house, with all new carpets and have a new baby due in August.
My DH asked her to remove her shoes but she won't... I don't know what to do? I am actually having the entire bottom floor done in wood because I am too terrified of her messing the carpets up as she destroyed our old ones. (They were filthy and a carpet cleaner wouldn't bring out the mark).
I don't want shoes in the house with a new baby and we show her round the top floor will be cream/beige carpets!
How do I address this? We are allowed shoes in their house and they have carpets from before my DH was born!!!
HELP... AIBU??????
