Well lets see here me and my boy friend live with his parents I have lived here for a year and 5 months. His mom tries to cause trouble any way and how ever she can it drives me crazy and I think she is crazy lol. Like every time my boyfriend gets paid she always wanting to borrow money so that we can't move out or do anything. Well now I'm looking for a job but I was going to try to get food stamps so that I could help around the house to cool things down until I do find a job and well I was setting at the table filling my job applications out and she was like you can stop you don't have to worry about that and I was like no these are job applications and she was like well you still don't have to do that either and I was like no I want to I'm wanting to get our own place and stuff. I have tried telling her to stay out of our business and well she does for a couple of days and then she does it more and I'm like stop. My boy friend really don't say anything to her when she does I really don't know what to do can y'all help me please. I'm tired of it!!!!!

You need to tell him it really makes you upset when she does that. Sometimes it comes to a point where you just can't take it anymore and something needs to be said. I've come to that point in my life very very few times. It's a hard place to be at, sorry you're stuck in this situation.

Hi Leann,
well, you are staying at her house and not working so I am assuming that you are not paying rent. It is really really hard to get by these days for most people without supporting other people. If she is asking to "borrow" money then you should be grateful. My guess is that your boyfriend is not paying his way either? She sounds like one of those people that is "too" nice. All I can say is it is her house...her rules. If you are really tired of it then you should find a job and then you can make your own rules.

Hi! I would go ahead and put in the job applications, and also apply for food stamps until you can get a job. If your boyfriends mother wants to keep interjecting herself in you and your boyfriends affairs then you should tell her that it is none of her business, unless one or the other of you make it her business. She may be scared she is going to lose her son, and not be a part of his life anymore. Try to let her know that you are not trying to take her son away, but be a part of his family, which includes his mom.

It seems like the parents always do stuff like that. I know the feeling, my ex's dad was the same way. It's partly because of him that we broke up. He tried to keep us apart as much as he could.

For a wife, it is not easy to get along well with a husband's mum in this world. So just make every thing much easier and try you best to make mum happy.

My boyfriend's mother is really out there as well, but at least I know why she is the way she is. You have to be honest with your boyfriend and tell him that you love him, but that you do not like his mother. Believe me, you can love your boyfriend, without loving his mother. My boyfriend loves me, and does not love my parents, and I love my boyfriend, and I do not like his parents very much either. His mother can be nice when she wants to be, and she is very giving, but sometimes, she needs to understand that she is not "superwoman" and that she cannot be everywhere doing everything.
Your boyfriend's mother sounds like my mother. My mother always wants to borrow money from me, and I get so sick of it.
