Hello fellow mylotters. Lately I've been writing about the mother-in-law. My last post is about her telling lies to friends of my hubby and mine. I was so caught off guard I didn't know what to tell our friends.
I thought things would get better, but for me (now that the hubby is working again) it's NOT!! Every time I'm outside... there she is!! I know you're probably thinking it's coincidence. I even thought this as well, but's it's really noticeable now, in fact the hubby even noticed it. She has even came out from her house in her pajamas, because we were outside.
Every time she comes out she looks directly over to our house or where we're at!! You know that feeling when you know some one is looking/staring at you, so you look up and there she is staring at you. She then realizes that you know she's staring at you, so she jerks her head the other way!! Now, we have a lot of stuff (as we moved this fall) outside to do, so I'm in the front and in back doing something, my hubby even noticed that when she is outside she never is doing anything , just seeing what we're doing or making her presence know.
Still, I thought it might be coincidence, so I decided to try an experiment. One nice day, I stayed inside!! Yep, you guessed it... she never went outside either!! Also, my hubby went over to visit her and she had binoculars out on her table!! I joked to my hubby maybe that's how she knows if we're outside and where we're at. Now, I'm beginning to wonder though!!
~Peace~

I don't feel "we" should have to move, it's our property and if it won't have been for my husband she wouldn't have her place! Besides we've lived in the same town as her and she is "always" just around the corner from us.

@STOUTjodee Oh, dear! Can't you find other oldies for her with whom she can spend her time? A man-friend?

@MALUSE ha!! No, man would put up with her!! She was involved with a group of widower from her church, but she stopped going to it, because "they" don't know anything!!

How about planting a cedar hedge at the property line?

@STOUTjodee A fence with electric wires? If it keeps sheep from running away, it must keep your MIL from getting in. You can tell her that you've put it up because you are afraid of burglars.
A camera would also be useful to catch her stealing things from your property.

I know!! She has stolen a rake and a spade. She of course says they were hers. When my husband confronted her about it, she intentionally broke them. Now since we've moved and had time to put things up, I'm now "missing" my tree cutters!! Apparently I left them out and she helped herself to them!! I also don't know what she would do to my garden ,flowers or strawberries, should we be gone.

@AKRao24 we're not moving..we own the land and trailer house. We will put up a fence that will either be electrical or have barb wire on it and plant trees by the fence that will block her view.

Hmmm that would be annoying. She is obviously watching your every move.

In laws can be tough if it bothers you that much I suggest talking to your husband so he can talk to her about it. I do not suggest you talking to her about it because if an arugement results that would put your husband in the middle having to choose who is right. I'm pretty sure he'd be upset about that so it's his job to talk to his mother if she's interfering in your life/marriage.

Oh, my husband knows about it and he has stated on several times not to interfere in our marriage. It does no use to talk to her about, it then gets worse. For me it's just irritating and weird. I just act like she's not there. It' makes her happy for her to know that it bothers me, so I just ignore her...she doesn't like being ignored.

Someone should go outside and when she comes out say, 'Hey, we can't help but notice, every time we come outdoors, you appear outside also, what a coincidence!' Then give her a friendly smile and laugh. I guarantee, she'd think twice before doing it again:(
