Somebody please help me lol! My husband and I bought a house, but it's in building works till the end of the summer, and we are staying at his parents house because they live in a farely larger house with lots of rooms! You would think with them having a huge house we would have privacy but nope! I LOVE my inlaws but they are driving me CRAZYYYYY!!! lol.. my mother in law tries to get me to clean everything with her, she loves to clean, but i just dont have the energy! They constantly are JUDGING our parenting decisions saying we are making bad choices, i have choosen to not circumsize my son, and to baptize him catholic, though they are jewish and thats alllll i hear about.. lol.. they are always around us, coming in and out of the room, they re arrange everything in our nursery, they even try to sabotage plans that we make so we have to stay at the house! I need some advice please, i love my in laws, and i respect them completely but i have just been letting them walk all over me, how can i tlel them in a nice way that i dont want there advice unless i ask for it!

The best thing you can do is have you and your husband sit down with them and talk it out. Don't make it an attack, just let them know that ya'll are feeling a little crowded and you need some space.

Talk to your husband first about this....and make sure he understands exactly how you feel and see how he feels and make sure that HE does most of the talking, but that you all sit down together, and let them know that sometimes you need privacy....and when it comes to what you are doing about circumcision and things like that, just don't tell them what your plans are.....you don't have to tell them everything that you are doing right now you can tell them later......and as far as her wanting you to clean, I would just let her know "I am too tired" or "I really don't have the energy right now" let them know that.......and as far as them coming in and out of the room designated as "yours" for now, does it have a LOCK on it!!! I would use it! But definitely since they are in laws let your husband do MOST of the talking, but make sure you are there to back him...cause if they don't realize that it is not just you they are making uncomfortable, but their son, they are more likely to back off and not thing that it is ALL you "talking"

i'm also kind of in the same situation..my husband is jewish and my in laws are a little hard to deal with sometimes. the only difference is that they live an hour away! lol i feel for you...if i had to live with them i think i'd go insane! anyway, i'm dealing with a lot of the same issues as you because i'm also catholic and we haven't really made any decisions religious-wise with this baby on the way..but there were already minor issues with them and our wedding ceremony, etc. if you ever need to talk, message me! :] and good luck!
