Not long ago, my aunt called and informed me she was visiting (she lives out of state) and expected to stay at my home and drive my car for 3 weeks. I was less than ecstatic. I see her maybe once a year. I immediately vetoed her using my car as I work. However, my husband is very friendly and so she called him and convinced him that she would stay and he helped her find a rental car. Perfect. See where this is going?

So, now I'm irritated with him for not talking to me first and irritated with her for inviting herself in. On another side note, we have been preparing to sell our house for months and it just so happened she flew in the day we stuck the sign in the front lawn. So, add that to the mix. But it gets better (or worse, depending on how you look at it). Hubby is on medical leave until the end of April so he is home and needs attention.

I am feeling incredibly overwhelmed and alone. I go to work all day while they're enjoying their vacation together. I am also in grad school full-time so I have night classes I take. When I come home, I take care of hubby. Then I play hostess to dear aunty. Then I have to make sure the home is show ready in case we get a showing the next day. By the time I am ready for bed I am exhausted and know I will wake up and do it again the next day.

And now dear aunty is telling me I am being a "b****" about trying to sell the house and looking for a new house. She told me I need to butt out of the selling process and just let the man take over. As a woman that has been rather independent her entire life, that is a tough pill to swallow. But, ok, I backed off. However, I was so upset last night after a really rough day, all I wanted to do was sit and eat some ice cream and she yelled at me "Stop right now! You are NOT going to eat that! Aren't you on a diet? What are you thinking?"

I was mortified. Absolutely. I threw the bowl in the sink, grabbed my running shoes, and let myself cool down for a good 30 minutes before I came home, took a shower, and went to bed. We haven't spoken since. But then hubby tells me this morning via text she is driving him around town because she is APPLYING FOR JOBS and is talking about how she is going to LIVE WITH US IN OUR NEW HOME.

I am beyond--- frazzled. I cannot do this!! But I am TRYING to be polite and TRYING to be accommodating. I just don't know how I can possibly do this. I dread going home tonight after class. My husband works night shift so we barely see one another when he is working so I was hoping these next few weeks, despite him taking it easy, we could actually spend quality time together. Now I have to schedule a date night with him and its hit-or-miss if we will actually get to spend it alone.

Sorry I just needed to vent! And I need advice. Am I just being too emotional? Is everything just really messing with my head? Or, am I right to be upset? What do I do?!
