My mother in law constantly invites people over to the house: Advice?

There’s two sides… she lays rent… that’s like you paying rent and not being able to have your friends over… but yes it shouldn’t be every day kind of thing and there should be conversation about it before people come over. But it is your house and you should be able to have peace in your own home…really you need to just sit down with both of them and discuss that it needs to be discussed before people are over. And ask that it not be every day. Don’t completely say no guests when she is paying rent. Because she is paying to stay there.

She has to go , that’s never gonna work telling u to get out of ur living room like fuck I would :joy:, also yes she has other kids and grandkids but how does she not go visit them at there houses sometimes no one wants vistors none stop am sure ur husband wouldn’t like it if the shoe was on the other foot and it was ur family I 100 percent wouldn’t allow myself to be bossed about in my own house and have no say over it.

If she pays rent she has every right to have people over. If you don’t need the extra money that comes in from her paying rent then have her move. The plain fact that she tells you to move out however is ridiculous :roll_eyes: If you and your husband own the house she shouldn’t be saying that unless it’s her house!!

Either sit down an have hubby see your side an if he doesn’t then take the steps yourself too evict her . You shouldn’t be talked down on around your child nor should you have to tolerate visitors if you don’t want them. Suggest her too something she may be able too afford… make sure your name is on that house…

Legally, the only thing you can do is serve her with a 30 day eviction notice. Regardless of what paperwork she is on, anything, if she receives mail there and pays rent, she is a tenant and there is a legal way to go about evicting her. Also, evictions may not be happening in your state right now. As a tenant to the property, you cannot tell her she can’t have guests over. There is literally NOTHING you can do besides legally evict her. I also read it as she is having her other children/grandchildren over and if that’s the case then yes, you’re in the wrong as your husband says. It’s literal family she is having over. You just sound a little grinchy.

“She threatens to move out…” so let her? If you don’t want her to move out, A. She shouldn’t be paying rent B. Deal with the situation you’re putting yourself in. Also, without further information, kinda sounds like she’s doing it because she knows it bothers you. Awful and childish, but more reason to wish her well, that the door doesn’t hit her on her way out.

Talk to him.
Tell him you’re stressed out and annoyed. That its she leaves or you do.

Oh hell no!! You should leave???!! Wth!??? And he didn’t put a stop to that right then and there!!??? Um. Nope!!!

Nope there needs to be a conversation, mom need to move to the others siblings, her own place or an assisted living place if she needs more care. I don’t care who you are , my home is mine and you will respect it or you won’t live here!!
If my own spouse couldn’t respect me and my wishes I’d be rethinking the whole relationship!

If she’s paying rent she has as much right to do as she wishes in her home as you do in your home. Besides compromising & coming to a solution which doesn’t sound possible at this point it only option is to move out. Take your daughter. File legal separation & child support immediately. Have him file for visitation right before he can see your kid. He’ll get mad & fix it to get you back.

Since she pays you guys rent you cannot tell her who she cant have in the home. What these other folks keep saying about her leaving well legally she has every single right to be in that home because the poster must of not known about the laws regarding other ppl living in their home especially someone who pays them rent. They will need to legally go thru the courts to evict her after giving her a 30 day notice and if shes not out by the 30 days then they can evict BUT they have to give a judge a good reason besides her MIL having ppl come over. But if u wanna go ahead and leave then you’re more than welcome to leave but legally you cannot kick your mother in law out cause you got your panties in a wad over her having ppl over cause you should’ve thought of that before allowing her to live with yall and before accepting any type of money as rent from her.

Giiiirrrlllll !!! I’d be petty and give the silent treatment AND tell hubby to sleep on the couch. When he asks why, tell him “You don’t care about what I have to say? You wanna disrespect my feelings? You want to treat me like an outcast? You wanna act like I don’t matter? You gotta lot to think about so until then, since you don’t want a partner in this marriage, you don’t get the benefits either. You either love me and want us to work or you don’t.”

For the record, just because someone pays rent in your home, it does not give them the right to do whatever they want in your home. The renter does not have the same privileges as the homeowner. Period. There may still be rules and conditions. Just like landlords can have a no pets or no smoking clause in a lease, this homeowner can choose to limit the frequency of visitors to HER home. She didn’t even say the MIL couldn’t have guests occaisionally - she just doesn’t want people in her house every single day. I think the MIL is being very inconsiderate and I she feels comfortable doing so because she has the support of her son. If the MIL wants daily visits with her other grandchildren, then she is free to go visit them at THEIR homes sometimes.

Punt her ass along with the other strays

I would tell the people to leave. Just because she pays rent doesn’t give her the right to just do whatever she wants. Just tell her either she clears people coming into your home with you or your going to start telling people to leave simple as that.

Even though it’s annoying/wrong whichever way you want to put it. She’s paying you rent so she can technically have whomever she wants over :woman_shrugging:t2: and you can’t exactly evict her until it’s allowed again or you can end up in legal trouble. All of you need to sit down like adults and talk about a compromise without arguing or y’all will just keep on fighting.

Family counseling so u can see its a symptom of their disrespect of u, and that u should get a lawyer

I’m confused… You said your husband feels the same way and has talked to her, but then you say your husband takes her side all the time?. Which is it?. Then you said she treated to move… So let her move then. If she pays rent and bills she should be allowed to have over who she wants when she wants. So if she wants to leave let her leave it’s simple, I think there is more to this than what’s being said.

Kick her the fuck out

No offense but if the husband takes her side then it sounds like he wants his siblings and nieces/nephews there too. You said you and him don’t want them there but if he’s agreeing with her then he wants them there and you’re the only one that doesn’t. He owns the house too so you and him need to come to an agreement on when to have them over then discuss it with the MIL.

This is her home…to bad you don’t have seperate space for visiting…
If she wants someone over its her right as she rents…
I can understand never having time in your own space . maybe set up date…for instance say Monday,… Wednesday nobody over etc…this is something you two have to discuss…sounds like you are berating her for having company in her home…

Literally tell him you want couple counseling because maybe someone outside the marriage can point out how much of an inconsiderate asshole he is to you. Someday his mom won’t be here but you both will be. Does he want to be with you or not because eventually you’ll be done with being second to his mom. It’s damaging your relationship every time he side with his mom

Kick her ass out. And if he doesn’t side with you, he can go with her.

Start Eviction process now or start divorce proceedings. Do NOT put up with the disrespect in your own home.

Why don’t you want your nieces or nephews to come over?

I get wanting time alone, but the minute you accepted rent you screwed up. You can’t accept rental money, and dictate who she invites over. I feel for you, it’s not easy to live with someone who is very social on a daily basis if you aren’t but unless she were to move out it’s not going to stop and you have no recourse… unless you go naked which someone else suggested and I guarantee that will be affective lol

Three choices:

  1. Move out
  2. Evict her
  3. Write her a formal month to month rental contract with all restrictions and allowances listed, including quiet hours, specific spaces rented, etc. This can include her using shared spaces but her guests being limited to only privately rented spaces such as her bedroom and bathroom.
    I’ve rented and been legally bound to limit the length of my guest’s stays, the number of vehicles I could have in the drive, and the hours in which I could be audible to my neighbors. You can write anything you want into a rental agreement. If she doesn’t like it, she doesn’t have to rent from you. There’s this saying that goes”this isn’t working out”.

Ultimatum time. Her or me. Ive done it and meant it.

If she pays rent there is not much you can do other than find a healthy compromise. I would be speaking with your husband on why he can’t see your side of it. Set certain days or times when she can have people over. That or tell her she needs to find another place live, if your husband doesn’t like it then they can go live together else where. Living with family usually doesn’t work out.

I was with you until you said she pays rent. That make it just as much her house as yours. If you can get your husband on board you can give her 30 days notice of needing to move.
