Ah ok. Makes sense now. I assumed one wasn't offered to them or it was rejected by MIL so she would have the opportunity to drive you insane. You're still a better person than me. I wouldn't have turned them away either, but I would for sure be letting them know how miserable I was!

They aren't staying in a hotel right now because Meme can't stay in one. Being 91, having a care giver everyday, etc. She just can't share a room with two other people, which is why we said they could stay here until they were placed in a home.

I. Can't. Even. Imagine!

Hope these FEW weeks flow by fast!

I still think you need to ask her about insurance paying for a hotel until a temporary home becomes available. It's weird that that isn't happening.

His brother still living at home has always been an issue for me but I've never had to deal with it so I just said whatever. Now, I do. Hahaha!

Today his mom said she wanted to pay us rent for staying with them. I said that I wasn't possibly going to charge them rent for a few weeks! That's what family is for.

I hope she got the hint!!!!!

Oh heavens no. I get overwhelmed when my boyfriends parents come visit a few days. I can't imagine 3 people in my house for who knows how long on top of three kids already. I will say some prayers for your sanity for real. And no a grown man wouldn't be staying with my child, especially when he works until midnight and even more especially because he is awake until dawn. Nope.

I feel so sad for you. I told my husband is his mother came to live with us again I'm packing and moving out. This is too much, not only for you but for your kids too.

I would be very honest with her! Thats a heavy burden to carry. I will pray for you, i would not be able to do this.

Did the insurance offer to pay for a hotel? Maybe bil could stay there.

I had a long talk with DH last night about it and he is in the same page with me, thank god! He said he is just waiting for her to hear from the adjuster how long they think it will take to repair and then he was going to use that as leverage for telling her they need to move into the house they will be getting FOR FREE!

Last night my MIL said she just didn't want to go to another house because she's worried about leaving her mother home alone for even a few hours. They left her home for a few hours at their house. I asked her what the difference was and she said "well, we know the neighbors there."

???

I think MIL needs to be thankful that she is able to stay with you. You have a family of your own to raise though and that is not fair to your family for the 3 of them to stay there for months! I would be going insane. If they will be getting a house to move into they need to go with that house. Sounds like she is asking for a little too much.

Oh my god that sounds like a nightmare. 3 of them living with you? my MIL would be bad enough never mind 3.. Is there no where else they can stay there's already 5 of you in your house and they want to stay there for months.. I understand it must be a very hard time for them losing there house. But if they can be moved somewhere in a few weeks why would they want to live on top of you? Put the foot down tell them there's not enough space for it to become long term.

Fack good luck !

O. M. G.

Not okay. Not even a little bit.

Well OP since your MIL wants you to be open with your feelings, let her know that you feel that they need to be moving out as soon as they are able. Seriously, she's nuts. I love my family, but I could never live with any of them again. EVER. It would have to be for a day or two, or a super crazy emergency.
