Hi All

Hope you' re well.

I have finally managed to move away from MIL' s house and have my own place now.
Its great.. love being there.... but only one problem... daily MIL keeps calling 7-8 times a day.. and I am finding it really irritating...and wants to know what we are upto..what we eat etc etc.
Help -how can I stop her?

hi SR, i know the feeling my mil/sil go thru my stuff too!! also they are very nosey and have to know what we ate/what /how i cook. She also tells what to feed my kid etc etc. She tells me not tofeed too much pasta to my kid, but her daughter(my sil)' s son only eats macaroni.....ALl the time!!, she should tell her own kids, and leave me alone!! at least you are not living with her! and i agree with the other respn=nse, dont pick up the phone, thats what i do if my husb is not home and il/sil calls. if husb is home, then we have to pick up phone. my sil used to call here every day (she just moved close to us), but i would always keep conversation brief, so now she got message and calls my husb(her brother) on his mobile.

My sil is a gossipping type of lady so from the start I have maintained a safe distance from her as I have heard the way she discusses other people behind their backs so she calls her bro on the mobile too.. but on occasions I do give her a call/email but without making a habit. So that side is safe.
I dont have kids yet but I know my MIL is the interfering type and I will have to make it clear to her that she is not allowed to interfere from the start.

hi

oh dear bit of a dilema for you hey....ok what u can do is that when she calls just say u are busy and will call back, if u do that a few times she will get the message hopefully...my inlaws used to do the same didnt call as much as 8 times but used to call everday and ask what we doing..where we went...what i cooked...and then they would make comments that i feed their son junk food...so i told my husband that i dont mind them calling everyday but dont tell them everything as then i have to listen and my husband stopped telling them....but then the he used to speak to his mum from work and they would still know but stopped calling less at home...its very annoying i know and urs are calling 8 times...oh why dont u stop answering the fone..thats what i do...i dont answer my home fone and who ever wants to get intouch with me calls on my mobile...thats another solution...are u working or u at home?

I am working..... finish work at 7 and .. she calls on hubby´ s mobile.. when i can I keep it on silent and then she leaves messages.. and sometimes when he does not answer she calls leaves missed call for me. I try to keep my phone on silent too but end up missing my important calls cos of her.
It is really annoying. I try and avoid it by goin to the bathroom at that time or pretend to be on another call etc etc. And even keep my hubby´ s phone on silent at times.. works sometimes.. hehe

No gg she does not think so much of me. she is just nosey and wants to know about everything going on in our lives.
We moved out only 4 months ago. so my clothes and some stuff are still at her place in our old bedroom...everytime I go there to get something, everything is moved around or messed with.. she goes through my private stuff.
