Am I wrong if......

Am I wrong for wanting my father-in-law (who's been staying with us for the past week) to go home so I can relax and walk around my house au naturel?

All I have to do is insert *mother-in-law* and we're right there, soror.

But my MIL has been with us since April - love her but she gotta go home. She keeps praying for a grandchild - we're new newlyweds - but I can't let go *if you know what I mean* with my MIL down the hall. LOL

I know what you mean soror. And on another note...don't let anyone pressure you into having children so soon after the start of your marriage, unless it's something that you and your husband want to do. In-laws can be very persistent about this but don't let them get their way; it's not about them. From what I have seen, children change everything and not everyone's marriage is ready for them so soon. I've been married for 3 years now and my husband and I are just now talking about starting a family. Marriage is a lot of work and I really value these 3 years that my husband and I have spent just stabilizing it and growing together.

Thanks soror but we're not receiving pressure so much as we both recognize that we aren't exactly spring chickens (early 40's and mid 30s) and we knew straight-away after getting married that starting a family soon was a priority. We lived together for almost 2 years before we got married and though marriage does change the nature of any relationship, I think we have a pretty good handle on how difficult it can be sometimes (Lord knows I do). I just want my space back so I can freely roam

so we can start our tribe.

No you are not wrong girl. My "friends" have been talking to my voicemail practically all summer. And don't speak of my birthday cause nobody ever remembers anyway.

Thanks! You should read the Open letter I wrote in the Delta forum. So you got a case of 'Sorryfrienditis' too

Sorry to crash, but I've gotta ask...what has your MIL been doing with you since april? Mine( and the SIL- have mercy) was here for a week at the start of the month to see our new house and that was just fiiiine with me...of course, she is now gone. *sigh of relief*

I think I would jump out the nearest window if I had in-laws living with me.

to add to the thread...

Am I wrong if I want to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas in our new house instead of traveling all the way to TX to see the above mentioned in-laws?

My MIL lives in England and was visiting for our wedding in May and planned to stay until July. Her housing situation got messed up. We finally got it settled and she'll be going back in mid-September. I love her really and we get along well but I want to roam "au naturel" as my soror called it.

I would divorce my husband if he let his sister come and visit. Now that's the devil incarnate

Ahh ok makes sense...I was thinking she was one of those evil MILs who move in the day after the wedding and never leave because the new wife will never be able to take care of her baby boy like she could.

It's frightening that people voluntarily marry into families like that.

My in-laws aren't that bad, just kind of overbearing at times.

Nah, we all have those moments when we need to give our mothers a little breathing room
