fckin mother-in-laws!!!!!

I just need to vent but my mother in law is driving me up the freakin wall!!!!!!!! She has moved in with me and my bf because she couldn't afford to live on her own anymore.... but since she has moved in she tries to run the place as if it were her own!!!! She doesn't load the dishwasher right so the dishes don't get clean and I end up having to wash them by hand a second time!! I've asked her nicely and told her how it works and the woman just don't listen!!!!! We gave her our whole basement and she will still not leave us alone my bf smokes and she comes upstairs complaining about smoke!!! I don't even complain and I'm the pregnant one!!!! She constantly treats my bf like her husband not her son she wants him to do and be everything her mechanic, decorator, mover, PC tech, lawyer, therapist, friend, son, bank, errand runner, counselor, shoulder, doctor, nail tech, servant!!!! And I'm going bonkers!!!!! He's tried telling her but she just cries and cries and gives us the silent treatment for days I swear she is more moody then my prego butt I just don't know what to do anymore because if we go places for her and ask for gas money she freaks out and get super offended this is her 4th grandchild and my dads first and she is getting mad that my dad is buying the baby things first like his first Teddy bear and toy she has no right to get mad in my opinion!!! It's his grandbaby too!!! If she wants to by the baby things then she needs to stop wasting money on her stupid **** and spend it on real things!!!! Aaaaahhhhhhhh I just wanna scream!!!!!!!!!! And punch her in the mouth everytime I see her!!!!!!!ok phew end of vent thank u ladies for letting me share :-)

Yea I couldn't deal with the jumping into the arguments. I would go off on her. I would say something like..you're going to try an counsel us but your still single?!
I couldn't take it. And its going to get worse after the baby arrives because she is going to tell you everything you should be doing and if you do one thing its going to be wrong. My grandma and my sister in law that has only one baby is like that. I wish I could help you lol. Being pregnant is tough enough without this extra nonsense!

We have tried talking to her I've tried talking to her alone he tried talking to her alone we tried talking to her together its the same result everytime she cries and cries and cries for hours and givebus the silent treatment for 4days the its right back to the same old ways like we never said a word we will even be in our bedroom lights out door closed and she comes knocking at the door for him to check the mail or for us to talk about work pectoral ask if he let the dog out!!! Really u can't be a grown up and let the dog out if your curious its not even her dog!!!! If we fight she jumps in and tries to counsel us its definitely not helpful it just makes it worse

No I will not be in the same boat... because I'm not crazy! This woman is off her rocker like today... again she has 2 bedrooms a bathroom and a full living room and kitchen down stairs. She doesn't like "scary" movies, well me and my bf were up here watching a scary movie so she came upstairs while talking on the phone sat at the kitchen table and had a very loud conversation.... then 5 min in she came into our living room and asked us to turn off the movie because she hates them sat back down at the table continued her conversation for 20 min after she got off the phone went back down stairs..... wtf was the point in that???? Then yelled for my bf to go down there to help her pick out an outfit to wear to work tomorrow!!!! She is 46 years old and can't dress her self??? keep in mind she is very capable of doing these things on her own she isn't disabled or slow

Mine lives with us and I'm sooooo glad I don't have this problem! We are both clean freaks so she cleans as good as I do! Its like another me in the house. And as far as DH and i go if we do have a little disagreement, which is like never, she stays completely out of it. Doesn't ask questions or anything. I couldn't imagine living like that. I would pull my hair out! Or hers:-)  good luck to you.
Try talking to her and your bf at the same time. Be honest. Thats the only way any of theses issues are going to get resolved. You can't put two women under the same roof. One of them is constantly going to want to be the woman of the house. Its your house. She needs to respect it.
