No! You can't let that horrible dogs in your house all day! If he must look after it he needs to take it out. I would be putting my foot down firmly.

Your DDs would be better off NOT seeing such a vile woman.

Tell her to get back on her broomstick and off!!

I can't believe you've agreed to dogs in the house - why should you have to put up with your house being mucked up by a couple of dogs that are as mad as their owner (I'm a dog lover but I would think twcie about dog sitting most dogs that weren't used to me esp if they are half feral like these two sound like).

and agree with buda - frankly dds are better of f not seeing the old bag.

what carmenere said.

i'd just tell her no.

if she came over with them, i wouldn't let her in to drop them off.

i think they treat you like this because you don't stand up to it.

or to him for allowing you to be treated like this.

Your husband needs to develop a bit of backbone and stand up for himself. Maybe he'd be a bit more able to stand up for you and your children then too.

Does he always roll over like this rather than stand up to her?

Why can't she bring the dogs with her to the family do?

I agree with all the other posters. Get your OH to say no - with no explanations. It doesn't have to be nasty, just 'It doesn't suit anymore'.

Why should you have to leave your house because of such an unpleasant woman?

Why can't she put the stinkers in a kennel ?

Even in the back of beyond there are people willing to offer a dog sitting service.
Tell her to try those.
Does she know you're scared of dogs?
I think she is jealous of you as you now have the love of her "little boy".
Just tell her straight NO means NO! and she better get some manners as well.
If i had a MIL like that, i would have had a screaming match by now.
She is just a bully and is bullying her son.
Stand up to her, your DCs won't miss anything by not seing her if she is SO unpleasant.
I bet the kids can feel the tension in your house when she comes round.
What is the worst she can do to you?

Sounds like a really vile woman, you could have the dog take it for walkies and um lose it on the way back
