Soaking up all the things I can do before her visit. Sit in peace, tend to my garden, smoke, etc. She never tells us how long she is staying just says a “couple of weeks.” We have no kids. Just dogs. She bought a crib without my permission last September assuming we wanted kids. It’s sitting in the guest room closet. We are child free by choice and I imagine this will officially be discussed during her visit. I definitely decided it was a no after spending time with her and I could see my future with an overstepping MIL. My husband has agreed to have this conversation so I can stop getting newborn reels or random questions about kids.
She’s never been mean. She’s just A LOT. Opposes everything my husband says and does while he’s fixing things. Everything is, “I know but…” And the crib thing has thrown me off ever since. I feel like my daily life gets put on hold and I’m tapping my foot until she leaves. Cheers to a few weeks.
