They say when you marry, you marry the family. And although the idea is frustrating, suggesting that you have no choice but to put up with the unforeseen nonsense of your other family, there is a drop of truth to it. Or rather, an entire sea.
And while some in-laws become your best second family, bringing joy and fulfillment, others turn out to be a pain in the neck there’s no remedy for. This is the case with a woman who recently shared her story on the Mumsnet forum.
“My MIL lives across town and has a tendency to just turn up on the doorstep unannounced and uninvited,” she wrote. Being “a very private person and quite introverted,” the woman explained that she needs time to prepare herself mentally for any extended visits or socializing. But her MIL clearly doesn’t see that.
When the unannounced visits became the norm, the only solution was to show the MIL it is not her house.
