So my SS went to spend his 3days with BM for the first half of summer on Wed. He was then being picked up tonight by my MIL tonight because my DH has to work and I don't have a car. I was great with this arrangenment to because he was then going to MIL's for the weekend. But no, my MIL just called and said SS can't spend the night because her power is off, not out but off. The women makes 3x's what we make and lives alone but she didn't pay her power bill. She spends money like water I just don't see how you let this happen when you have money, power is more important then luxury items. Now I have gone without power before when I was a kid because we had no money there was no luxuries being put before necessity there was just no money. This woman is so stupid. So now not only do I get my SS tonight she is coming with him to spend time here because she has no power. My DH will not be home till 11:30 and I will be stuck here with not just my SS which is bad enough but also with my crazy bitchy MIL. I am so misrable right now because they will be here in an hour I cried when I found out, I know I shouldn't have cried and it was silly but I feel so defeated and that woman beats me done everytime my DH is not around I feel trapped in my own home right now. I wish my DH was here and I wish I wasn't alone to deal with the two of them, I just want to take my baby and leave. I would to, say I had plans but they could stay here but I can't do that because that woman would snoop through my entire house, nothing is sacred with her. Plus to top it all of my pants except one pair of pj pants are in the washer right now(I'm in the pj pants why I do laundry) SO i don't know if I will have dry pants before they get here.

Poor thing. My MIL would come to my house too if her power were off or out. She went to my SIL's last time and swears she would never do that again...shes coming to my house. Lucky me. :sick:

Be cordial and polite once they arrive but then once they get settled retire to your bedroom for the evening. They can entertain each other and she probably wouldnt snoop as much knowing you could be present any moment by coming back into the room. Pop out on them a few times to reinforce this.

Hang in there!

Thank you for your support, I can't hide out in my room with my daughter or I would. Plus I know if I hid out in there all night I would never hear the end of it from DH, because no matter how she treats me we wouldn't want me to be rude now would we? He doesnt talk to her much or like to be around her, hell have the time if they are in the same room he doesnt talk to her but if I don't talk then I am being rude. She would totally rat me out to DH to. ugh I hate that feeling like your prisoner in your own home it seems to happen way to often when you have stepkids let alone a bitchy MIL

Well she just left. She got here and is telling me that she hadn't had dinner yet and neither had SS so I say I will make pasta(I have to go to grocery in the morning so that was all I had) So she says no she is hanging here and she got paid today she will buy us pizza I finally give in and then when it gets time to pay she tells me she forgot her wallet at home. What the hell I should have never gave in and ordered the pizza, I don't have the money to be eating out and then I end up having to pay for pizza I didn't want in the first place. The whole time she was here was akward, she wants to talk about stuff like BM infront of SS and its like no he can't here this sh*t

I am so glad my soon to be MIL and I get along so well. She was a single mother of 2 boys and she, like I are strong women. Even before my BF and I were together she and I got along. I even helped her pack when she was moving. I feel so bad, bc everyone I know has a nutso MIL.
Good Luck, and maybe you can find a way to side track her, ask her about Fathers day or something that regards to her son that she feels the need to over protect.
