Annoyed 😑

My MIL thinks she is helpful although she just comes to see her grandchild when it suits her and expects I facilitate as her. She is judgement, pressuring, insensitive and over sharing with private matters. I would suggest some boundaries may help, if she listens. Mine hasn’t and it has negatively affected our relationship.
@Sarah I appreciate the advice. I’ve actually tried boundaries my husband has had many talks with her about setting boundaries. We live with her currently so there are no such thing as boundaries with her
I’m sorry I’m not sure what makes MIL think it is their experience to dictate. If you can I would suggest moving ASAP as this may damage your relationship forever. Struggling financially may be worth savouring some sort of relationship for the future.
Hopefully we will be moving soon our new pregnancy just slowed us down a little. So I’m trying to keep my emotions down till we do but she is difficult
You need to go to counseling as a couple. Then maybe your husband will need counseling with his mom. That is where we are currently and it’s helping. Took 14 years together (5 years of marriage) and 2 kids later to get to this point. We told my MIL that she respects us and goes to counseling or we’re going no contact. They’re now in family counseling as well as my husband and I doing marriage counseling.
I feel this lol she’s very nice and helpful but overbearing .
Mine acts like I don’t exist until she has to and blatantly disrespects me. I’d take the annoying MIL who cares.
