Probably a year ago I posted about buying mine and my fiancés dream home. A lovely next – gen home in a very up and coming area! Our total dream home. A little expensive but we LOVE THIS HOUSE!! Perfect for our pets, our baby we hope to at least conceive this year, pregnant by Christmas, am I right?! And when we have guests, a beautiful space they can enjoy by themselves. A full guest house attached to the main, we could not have asked for more.
Here comes the issue. From the SECOND we bought the house, my FMIL told us she is moving in. Excuse me? She apparently applied for a teaching license in our state (despite being retired) and made friends with our next door neighbor so she can check up on us?! She said she would like to stay 6 months out of the year, despite having her own husband and house on the east coast, in our guest house. I have battled her the last 1.5 years about our home. She berated me about painting it! It was an awful navy blue, almost black, and we ended up painting it a lovely taupe color. She lost her mind! How DARE we paint HER ‘apartment’!?!?? If we are going to change things, we NEED to get her a PULL OUT COUCH IN CASE SHE HAS GUESTS!! I wanted to puke hearing her say this. She is conveniently only an asshole to me when it’s just us and once my fiancé enters the room, she’s an angel! I’ve expressed to him the things she says and she claims she never said it 😂 he understands she’s a child but would never say it to her sadly.
I have wanted to puke every single time she visited us the last year but I am so happy to say our house is officially on the market and as sad as I am giving up our dream home, I told my husband I want to live in a very small place next time so we are only looking at houses now that don’t include a guest house, OR GUEST ROOM 🥲 I can’t stand my FMIL and she totally ruined our dream house for us but I’m so thrilled to be leaving and we can finally have our life without her trying to involve herself for no reason.
Thanks for reading, I could complain for hours about how horrible this woman is regardless about how she ruined my family’s dream home together 😂
