to be hating my mother in law at the moment

My twin daughters, husband and I are all a little bit ill at the moment. Nothing too serious but we all have dodgy bowels, feel very tired, one of my daughters was sick last night and I also have a terrible headache. I think it is a virus, picked up by one of my daughters at playgroup last week.

Anyway, hubby took our daughters round to his Nans this morning (my grandmother in law but I call her my mother in law as she is like his Mum as she bought him up).

He mentioned that we are all ill and apparently she used it as a reason to totally blast off about the state of our house. According to her, the house is "disgusting" and that I am lazy and can't be bothered to clean. Apparently it is therefore all my fault that everyone is ill.

I am a working Mum and by the time we have put the girls to bed, prepared for work the next day, packed the changing bag and taken a shower etc it is often already aropund 9.30.

I think she expects us (or me) to sit in all weekend doing housework as I am not living up to her cleanliness expectations.

I guess it is difficult when it is a 2 generation gap, just feel like i can't stand her.

Are you sure she isn't my MIL? I was in hospital recently and she came over to help dh and spent the whole time tutting about the state of my house. It's not the first time and I'm sure it won't be the last!

I actually don't think my house is too bad, we are not the most tidy people in the world but we're not dirty. She on the other hand is completely anal about housework.

Have also had my house rearranged by her grrr!
