Honestly, my soul, my kidney or my child as she makes it abundantly clear she thinks she's can do a better job. I'm trying so hard, naturally a people please.. this woman is going to break me. I've never met anyone so consistently out of touch with the world.. she's really affecting me! I've spent the day bleaching my house. I never use bleach. But the first thing she said to me when she walked into my house the other day, "is your bathroom clean"!

And her child is where?

Come on op. Why are you giving her so much power over you? She's no more important than you are and has no authority over you.
Yes, you should try to keep your environment clean and tidy but none of us are perfect and there's no need to bleach your entire house unless it was really filthy.
And it's down to everyone who lives in the house to do their bit.

You should have immediately invited her to leave.

You are the one allowing this woman to affect you so negatively. Stop being a doormat and take control. Your husband's mother can either be pleasant and treat you with respect or you will no longer have a relationship with her.

It's really not complicated.
