We live in the same town as my in-laws (big mistake there). Sometimes I think My husband is too close to his parents. As in no one else exists! They come over too much and he wants to go over there too much. I am sick of it and it seems that I am the bad guy. I try to tell him that I’ve had it and there needs to be changes but he doesn’t understand. Our daughter is 7 months old and now they drive me crazy even more!! She gives unwanted advise and makes me feel unfit to be a mother. It seems that I always have to sit them down and give them the talk! Is there a better solution out there other than divorce!
Got a mother-in-law dilemma? Post a question and get advice from real daughters-in-law, just like you! See a story you can relate to? Give advice and answer any of the questions posted by other daughters-in-law in need of some TLC.

Get your guy to therapy and sit HIM down for a talk! You have to make it your point stick in his mind first before you inlaws can get the treatment.
sorry about your situation but unless your dh knows, there is nothing much we can do. maybe whenever he wants to go over there, you make your own plans and stick with it. never be alone with that troll, and beat her at her own games. i wish you would give some examples to help us know better what you are going through
Looks like you have a Momma’s Boy. That is unfortunate, as they like things status quo. Get him in to see a therapist. Tell him his choices are a therapist or divorce. He needs a neutral third party to remove his head from up his butt. If he can’t see the light, then nothing is going to change.
Regarding the unwanted advice, tell the old biddy that she is entitled to her opinion and you have already decided to do ABC a different way — and thanks for understanding! She had her chance to raise her children (and ended up with a Momma’s Boy — no prize) and now it is your time to raise your child. Don’t let her take that away from you.
I really feel for you, my MIL is the exact same way, only I am not married to a Momma’s Boy.
Honey, I feel sorry for you and for myself. Trust me I understand your position as I am going through the same things. I have a 5 month old sone, married to a mama’s boy and all my in laws live within 20 miles. My husband never stands up for me and his mother has made my life hell. I am talked to him plenty of times and have told him he needs to change or else get an attorney and fight for custody but he remains the same.
