Today, I had to repeatedly explain to my nosy, interfering, clingy, no-concept-of-personal-space mom that I'm not okay with her moving into my new house, or the same neighborhood, or even the same goddamn state as me when I get married next week. FML

Mommy issues

Today, my mother is such a nosy, intruding busybody, she has driven away my last three boyfriends who could no longer stand her. My latest fella had even proposed, but he asked for the ring back and you can bet he blamed my mother for repeatedly involving herself in our private business. FML

Today, I told my girlfriend that her mom doesn't give us any privacy when we're at their place. I suggested that we go to my place for a change, and she agreed. Her mom called my house three times to see what we were doing. We're well beyond teenagers. FML

Home to roost

Today, I found out that my mother has been telling several people that my fiancé and I will be moving into her house for the foreseeable future. All because we're moving to a city close by for jobs and are still searching for housing. I found this out from several of the people she told. FML

Escaping

By Anonymous - 30/10/2021 08:00

Today, my mother-in-law showed up unexpectedly, made passive aggressive comments to my kids in front of me about how we need a bigger place to live, and asked questions about our income. We're actually trying to move soon, and just hadn't told them yet so they wouldn't try to follow us. FML

Today, I found my mother wandering the halls of my fraternity unescorted and asked why she was here, she told me she was concerned when I didn't pick up my phone for two days. She then informed me that she had also moved to the same city I live in. My mother moved over 600 miles to stalk me. FML

Today, I found out that if my husband and I move to another country to live, then his mom and sister will live with us too. I'm already living with them because of societal traditions. I like them and everything, but I really need some privacy. FML

Don't go

Today, my mother told me she thinks it is time for me to move into my own place. I agreed with her and went to look at studios/flats online. She later came into my room, saw me looking at places and then got pissed off at me, saying that I hate her for wanting to leave her. FML

Clean

Today, in the entire half-hour since my mother-in-law reached our home, she's inspected and criticised every aspect of our home, despite things being spot clean. And sermoned me non stop on how to "live". My husband still wonders why I don't want her visiting. It"s going to be a long two weeks. FML

Oedipus Rex

Today, my mother started arguing with me once again about how my life revolves around my girlfriend and how it's unhealthy to spend so much time with her. We live together and are engaged to be married. FML

Today, just like every day for the past two weeks, my mother has told me just how much she doesn't want me to move out. I, once again, have had to remind her that she isn't the one I'm trying to get away from. I'm not a fan of being repeatedly smacked with a coffee mug by my 78-year-old grandma. FML

Just tell her that her behaviour is pushing you away and ruining your relationship with her. If she keeps it up she's going to lose you, hopefully that will help make a difference.

But what if it's on the state line border? Loopholes! Always remember to cover possible loopholes!

Love how you can always count on two main camps in regards to the FML crowd when it comes to family issues: The ones that say you should love family regardless of what they do to you, and the ones that think family should have the same rules as any healthy relationship.

I'll never get the hate and ungrateful nature westerners have towards their parents. The lack of empathy is disturbing and lack of foresight, you might be parents yourself one day, do you want your kids to throw you away like trash as well.

If I treat them badly, am terrible to them, or anything like that yes I would be okay with them doing that. Sometimes children are ungrateful, but I'd say a lot of times they have a good reason.

So if you got married, you would want your mom to follow you everywhere and live in your house? Did you not read the FML, the mom doesn't have any concept of personal space. There is a reason that OP doesn't want her mother that close.

There was a time when you lived in her uterus. Talk about personal space.

She chose to have her, or at least follow through. You don't owe your parents anything for your existence because it wasn't a favor to you, you didn't even have a say.

My mother-in-law recently mentioned in passing that if she ever can't get around by herself any longer, she'll just move in with us. She lives in a one storey home. We have spiral stairs and the guest room is on the lower level.
