overwhelmed with in-laws

Tweet

Does anyone ever feel extremely overwhelmed with life? Mainly with the people in it? In-Laws! Prying into business, sticking their nose where it doesn't belong, an elderly grandmother lying about you to the family!!! It is sickening. The grandmother begged me, my husband and son to live with her. Because she can't walk well, and said that nobody in the family is willing to help her and they want to throw her in a nursing home. Well lets just say, we were suckered in, we fell for every word, and now that we are here, I regret our decision. We had a really nice apartment, close to work, and no problems other than financial struggles. Well now that we are here, I am constantly on edge. I'm starting to lose all of my energy because of her. I don't mind the cooking and cleaning, and alll those things. Its the woman. She is like the one in Throw Momma From The Train. Dos not know how to be decent to somebody, ordering around like I'm a maid or something. I fix every meal for her, every snack, I give her spongebaths, sweep, mop, vaccuum, dishes, clean the horrible bathroom after she made a nasty mess of it (use imagination, I'm sure you know what I mean). I dont even mind doing any of it, because I honestly love to help family. But when the person that I'm helping decides to lie about me to my husbands family, saying how i dont do anything and how I begged her to stay there, etc. It gets frustrating. Because now everybody is on my case, and all I'm doing is helping my husbands ingrateful, unnappreciative grandma. Please, if anyone has any similar experiences, with friends, inlaws, relatives, etc. Feel free to share them. I'd love the feedback. Needed to vent a little!
