My Mother In Law is getting on my NERVES! VENT!!!

[mamaof4410]

So my mother in law and father in law live with us. And for the past couple days she has been getting on my last nerve. It all started Saturday. We paid for the Christmas tree last year so this year she voluteered to pay for it. Well she gives us the HomeDepot card and we pick out the perfect tree and go to pay for it and the card was declined! It was so embarrassing! I wanted to cry. Well we paid for it out of our own money. Last year she decorated the tree on her own after I told her I wanted our kids to help. I was pissed I know its petty but Christmas is a very special time for my kids. So last night I was putting the lights on the tree, she kept butting in because the lights were to close or to far apart. Then she starts messing with them while I was cooking. UUUUGGGHHHH Its annoying. Theyre going to Colorado for Christmas with their friends. I cannot wait! She does this with everything. Its like she wants me to do everything the way she wants it done. Like cooking and cleaning! If I mop the floor apparently I dont use enough Pine Sol so when I go to my room she re-mops the floor and uses a ton of Pine Sol and leaves the floor sticky. I dont know what to do!!!!! Im only 5 weeks tomorrow so I hope shes not doing this as my pregnancy gets further along. Im not her daughter so theres no reason for her to constantly worry about what Im doing! And her daughter is 12 weeks pregnant so shes constantly comparing me to her!

Why do you live together?  I'd be working on a separation pretty fast.

See and we usually get along really good but its like I cannot stand her trying to take over everything.
