AITA

Am I the asshole for feeling like my future MIL is being invasive and asking partner to set firmer boundaries? My partner comes from a much closer knit family than I do and it’s been an adjustment, but recently it feels like it’s getting out of control. We live across the country and they visit nearly every other month, it feels like I don’t get a break from hosting them. They don’t even ask, they just book flights. In August when our lease is up, we are moving for a career change on my end. His mom told me we should move closer to them as it would be “ better for my career” ( location isn’t a huge factor in what I’m soon to be doing) and tried convincing us to move back home and even sent us apartment buildings without our asking. She has offered to help us move to our new spot on multiple occasions, and we have said no multiple times. Her response each time is “ We’ll talk about it more”. I have asked my partner to set firmer boundaries as it’s starting to bug me and I feel like she is not allowing us to be adults and also not respecting our wishes. He seems a little annoyed and I don’t want to hate on his mom 24/7 but I am getting to my breaking point. I know I don’t come from a super close family so part of being with him and his family is an adjustment, but this feels over the line. Am I overreacting?
