I missed your previous post as it has already archived. I lurk on this board and usually post on the other "inlaws" board. Do we have the same mil? My mil is also meddling under the pretense of being "helpful". Last time they visited, she rearranged our bedroom closet because dh "used to love her to fix his things" and calls my dh at least three times per day. She just cannot cut the cord and I know how tough it can be. My advice to you is: stand up to her. Do not allow her to continue to manipulatve your life. It will only get worse. I agree with the poster who said to make a monthly "inlaw night" and stick to it. Don't just say your busy, really be busy. Make plans with your dh, friends, hair appointments etc... Let her know your life does not revolve around her. Sit down and set some CLEAR boundaries with dh. If allowed to continue, in-law issues DO build up and can cause a MAJOR strain on a marriage. Can you imagine when/if you have children? You should just turn them over to mil at birth, the way she takes over!
Good luck!
