Today, I came home from a week-long vacation, only to find my mother-in-law didn't just dog-sit while I was gone; she moved in, along with all her possessions, and seems to think it's a permanent deal. FML

Today, I found out that my unemployed and very needy mother-in-law will be moving in with us soon. And during my conversation on the phone with her, she expects us to buy a house and my wife and I can "live with her." My wife agrees with all of this. FML

Today, I came home after a long day at work to find the furniture in my living room had been rearranged by my mother-in-law. When asked how she got in, she told us she stole my husband's key and made herself a copy. She can now come here whenever she wants, unless I change the locks. FML

Today, my mother-in-law moved in with my husband and I, where she shits the bed and herself. There's a waiting list for the nursing home, so in the meantime I’m cleaning up her shit and she isn’t even my mother. FML

Today, my mother-in-maw informed us that she sold her house and is moving in with us so we'll "take care" of her in old age. She's in perfect health. We've only been married for 4 months. My wife can't stand her for more than 2 weeks at a time, let alone living with us. FML

Today, my mother-in-law moved into my wife's two-bedroom apartment. She's quite possibly the reincarnation of Hitler himself, and she'll be staying until this time next year. FML

Today, my mother-in-law yelled from across the house for me to come quickly. She sounded frantic, so I rushed and asked what was wrong. She said, "Nothing." and that she just wanted to remind me that she hates my guts. She'll be living here with me and my wife for the next two months. FML

Simple solution, tell her to move out or pay rent. If she refuses, call the cops.

OMG that sucks. I would freak out! I can't stand uninvited guests who won't take the hint, never mind uninvited roomies! You need to talk to your wife and then talk to your mother in law together, you guys need to be united to deal with this. Just be firm and assertive. You also might want to see whether she has any health or financial problems that have lead to this, because she is not behaving normally. Is she struggling living alone? Could she be having problems paying the rent or mortgage on her own place and she was embarrassed to tell you? Anyway it's not appropriate for her to move all her stuff in and just assume she can stay but maybe knowing why will help you work out a better solution. Good luck!

I hope you have a serious chat with her before it's too late. I really think she got the impression that she was going to stay there forever , wondering whom said that to her?she had to have some clue or impression or she wouldn't have left her home for yours.
