My MIL offered to stay with us for 1.5 weeks to help with my daughter during my recovery from surgery.

r/

Firstly, I greatly appreciate the help because my husband works the graveyard shift and I can’t lift anything heavier than 10 pounds, and my toddler is 18 pounds.

Onto my MIL. As soon as she gets to my house, she asks if she can start cleaning. I told her it’s not necessary, that my husband and I will do it when I’m feeling better. Our house is messy, but it’s not dirty. That’s life with a toddler. Instead, she starts reorganizing my kitchen. I can’t find a fucking thing now. I have ADHD and when things are out of sight, I can’t find them. I did find my loaf of bread in a basket on top of the fridge. wtf? I shouldn’t even be reaching (I had abdominal surgery). She even removed my hand soap from the sink, and all the meds I had in a specific place.

She folded all of my clothes after I told her not to. She insisted most of them were mine (they are not). I’m not going to have to refold them all because j Loki them folded a certain way. She just kind of folds them in half.

She also brought a bible to read to my daughter. We’re not religious.

I ended up making several meals for my daughter. She insisted that I made too much food and was reclining the fruit I cut up. I know how much my toddler will eat and what she can handle. Of course, she ate what I made and didn’t choke.

She leaves on Friday. I’m just laying in bed and trying to recover but I’m stressed.
