Feeling horrible

I feel bad for my mother-in-law because she is staying in a hotel because her daughter kicked her out the house. My husband is her son and I been against her staying with me because I dont really know her and I really like my freedom in the house because im 37 weeks and cant sleep well at night I have the option to go in a different room and watch tv. But if she stays with me I feel I will become stuck being around her. Because my husband work long hours and gets off around 7 most days and we live in an upstairs apartment I dont go out too much. Then I have a one year old and he is getting to be too heavy to pack up and down the stairs I just stay in most of the time. But my husband told me she may stay at a homeless shelter for a little bit because a hotel is expensive. Then idk how long she may be with us and I dont want to be stuck having her awhile. She been down here for four months already and just now decided she want to stay down here she spent most of her money. What would you do?

I haven't been in the mood to be around anybody lately is why its such a problem. I been real moody and snappy at my husband at times not on purpose though. But his home is drama and moody and I already am on edge with women in general so I purposely stay to myself to avoid issues with ppl. We have a small two bedroom apartment and space to me has already been an issue with us having our second baby anyday.

If she is your mother in law and you dont know her shouldnt you take this as the opportunity to get to know her? Especially if you are going to have 2 children that are her grandkids

Well at times she has been real judgmental of our relationship and how we do things. Then other times she has beem just ok. My husband has seen only been around his mom the last few months she moved away when he was in high school I think. She recently was very rude to my husband in a message which ticked me off. But he said they are good now. But she is a little unstable and can go from extrememto normal. My mother we have good times and bad all the time so mothers in general I keep a distance between. Cant handle drama well at all right now. Because I will pick up and leave real fast. The best ppl I good with are my dad and his dad and fiance.

I have a terrible relationship with my own mother so I would let her sleep in a box if I could. My boyfriend's mother I would let stay with me in a heartbeat, but only if she was going to be some kind of help. Maybe your MIL would be helpful with your one year old? Maybe she could help around the house? I know I could use some help right now since I can't bend over, but my six year old daughter has really been a blessing.

Honestly I would let my mother in law move in with me idk how's your relationship with her probably maybe good or bad but that's your husbands mother a mother should never experience her own children turning there back on her but like I said I can't know your story to well I hope I was some sort of a help
