Oh. My. Freaking. God.
What a long week. I really feel like I am going to go postal on someone soon.
getting up everynight at 3, and then up at 5:30 for the day with kids is really tiring. Kids who are sick, and constantly whining, and screaming, on top of being tired makes it harder. Feeling like an overworked housekeeper who hasn't had a break in 3 weeks?? Exhausting.
In the last week I have managed to have a total of about 15 minutes to myself. all in the shower.
Not only does this house have to be kept immaculate at all times, but I am also resonsible for the laundry, and dinner every night.
My mothering to my children might as well be non-existant, because everything I say to my kids is overruled by Erik's mom.
I don't dare say anything. I don't dare ask for a break. I just hope I can make it to December 11th, when Erik comes home for Christmas.
Only 12 more sleeps.

Take a deep breath and do what I do. Even though your mother in law might not be that old I say over and over in my head-she is getting old and probably senile. Usually I start to laugh in my head and then I am fine!!!! I am a firm believer that adult children should not cohabitate with their parents or inlaws. Try to keep a stiff upper lip and if you are that bothered you should seriously sit down with her and gently mention that you would appreciate her letting you do the main parenting. It can get ugly if this continues as the kids will be affected by it. They will not know who to listen to!! Just my two cents please don't be offended by my comments.
Thanks for the words of advice! I think you hit the nail right on the head about the senile thing, I'm sure that will work!
We are only here temporarily, hopefully, only until March, when my husband recieves his posting.
I know she means well by what she does, she just needs to stop being so over-bearing.
