Got married this year march. From December last year my mom in law has been coming to stay with us. She was even there when we got back from honeymoon. Then she left for about a month, then my husbands brother came to live with us. Circumstances changed so he left and she is back staying with us. We have probably had about 2 months the whole year to ourselves. Its not that she is homeless she has a place where she lives she but the rest of my husbands family think its fine to do this. I have been very accommodating and welcoming but now im feeling overcrowded and want space. I told my husband this and he says he didn't grow up to kick his mother out its cruel and he wasn't brought up like that. However the deal was not for her to live with us and so she is just staying with us for an unlimited period. I understand that they were brought up always having people over but I have accommodated it and now there has to be a limit. Its taking a toll because we have no privacy she is at home everyday, my husband doesn't take me out without bringing her with. I have told him all this but he doesn't have the heart to tell her to leave and says if I tell her then she will run to the family and cry. I really feel he has chosen his family over me and I dont know how to deal with it.
