I have come to the conclusion this week that MIL isn't nasty, she's immature

She has been here since saturday, with Step FIL. ON Sunday she insisted on going to sainsbury's - I went with them because they didn't know the way. She spent £54 on food.
So far, no one apart from her, and occasionally sFIL ahve benefitted from it.
A multipack of chocolate bars "can we have one nanny please" from the Dses
"No they are mine"
many examples of this. Today, my day off, so I thought I'll take the chance of a lie in because Dh is away and haven't really had one. I heard the Dses get up about 8am (MIL and SFIL are in the living room on an air bed)she cooked bacon and sausages for her and SFIL and when i came downstairs at 10am, I said"Oh did the boys have any breakfast" she said no. Now I know they are 11 and 9 and perfectly capable of getting tehir own, but she could have reminded them or said "I've put some bread int eh toaster for you". She used all teh bacon as well so when i said "oh is there any left " she said "no, but it was mine anyway, we bought it"
She started hoovering at 9am "to get you up you lazy thing".
She has taken a huff because I said I wasn't going to go shopping with her, so she said "oh well I think we will just stay out for dinner tonight"

She has been dropping hints all week about how much she has spent tkaing teh Dses to places and the fact hat she spent £54 in teh supermarket.

Sorry, I'm waffling a bit now aren't I?

She sounds charming. Is she going home soon?

BonsoirAnna · 09/04/2009 13:18

Waffle away, get it off your chest - she sounds like a PITA and I am sure you will be very, very relieved when she goes home again .

Have you sorted out her bill for when she leaves?

mrsboogie · 09/04/2009 13:21

jesus what a skinflint! why do you have her to stay? she wouldn't get through my front door.

Pheebe · 09/04/2009 13:25

Charming! Can you bill her for her board? She's clearly treating your home like a hotel.

I can't believe she refused your dds a biscuit ffs. I would be tempted to tactfully but firmly say to her that anything she isn't prepared to share should be kept out of sight of the dss.

She sounds like a complete nightmare, even worse than mine if such a thing were possible. What do the children think of her?

What a horrible and selfish woman. I would be v annoyed at that sort of behaviour.

JuxaLOTmoreChocolate · 09/04/2009 13:50

I don't think she's immature, I think she's nasty, lazy and selfish. When's she going?

beanieb · 09/04/2009 13:52

She sounds horrible, why is she there!?

Saltire · 09/04/2009 13:55

She's not nasty in the same way that some MIls are - I have read many horro stories on here.
She's going on Saturday, then my mother arrives.
I didn't invite her, she invited herself on the phone to DH.

Hide the toilet roll. When she asks you where it is say 'sorry, that's ours. If you want some you'll have to buy your own

stories like this make me feel very lucky with my MIL. Sympathies. What does your dh have to say?
