no need to call the authorities.

Just had a baby Wednesday In-Laws have been in town since. Driving me fucking crazy! I can't do anything! My son is jealous and they are making it worse, I can't sleep because the baby is in our room because of the breast feeding, so I wake up when she does and I am expected to get up with the 2 year old. But then these a-holes are at my house "helping" and by helping I mean getting in my way and making sure I can't relax and eating my damn food. They are making rules along with my wife on what I can and can't do! I swear to god this is going ot make me start drinking again, that or I am going to start going to AA meetings just to get the fuck out of here. AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. I have no idea wtf to do, I should just take my son and go somehwhere until they are gone, that way the three of them can take care of the one baby. And they keep yelling at my dog! Don't yell at my dog! He isn't doing anything wrong he just doesn't listen to you because he listens to me since I am his hunting master. And your cooking isn't helping, it sucks, I made enough food for a week and froze it last week! My options are, , , or !

I am not worried about the dog, I am just mad they are yelling at my dog, he is a very well behaved hunting dog, that makes their dog look like the worst dog in the world. It is just annoying the wife can be sleeping when the baby is sleeping (which I expect) but if my FIL is playing with my son in the basement or something and I fall asleep I am a total POS. We need our adjustment period without them here. I can handle the boy while she handles the baby. We don't need two people here making things worse!

They came upstairs and my son went to the bedroom where my wife was trying to sleep and i went and got him, this upset him, so I figured no big deal he will get over it. I get dirty looks and they are taking him for a walk! It is 35 degrees with 40mph winds! I am going to lose it. I know this is a transition for the boy but spoiling him and giving in to him on everything is not going to help! Because when they leave he will be expecting to get everything he wants. He needs to learn to either play with his toys, sit with us quietly and that we are going to play with him, but it can't be alll the time. Oh and I am also a bad father because I couldn't find his gloves, the wife put them away! I don't know where because when i put stuff away it is always in the wrong spot. This is what causes divorce! My dad lives 2 blocks away and hasn't been over because he wants to give us our space, I went over there to get something and he thinks I should tell them thanks but it is time for them to leave but I know that would just create a living hell. I am sorry but the Laundry does not need to be done as we take it off, the boy is going to have tantrums because he is 2, and it is not a comparison on who is getting more sleep, I can't sleep either because the baby is in the room and babies make a lot of noise when they sleep and it can freak you out, plus I wake up when she breast feeds and then she passes her off on me when she has to use the bathroom anyway. And I am the type that once I wake up I can't just fall back asleep.

Tell her parents to gtfo, they're just making your life worse.

Oh I want to, i just don't know what the backlash will be. I already told her earlier, I had a friend stop by for like half an hour and her parents ran out and did something. And my wife said something about sleeping, and I said you parents are here to help and if they aren't they need to GTFO. This has heppened before and my wife just cries and takes her parents side and makes me miserable. I have been completely sober for 10 months, and this is the first time I really want to get hammered. Luckilly for me i have random PBT's and if I fail I go to jail, or I would be drinking right now.

Oh and it is my 50" HD TV not yours so I watch what I want to watch! And stop trying to fix things in my house that I just have to go back and refix because you don't know what you are doing! And no you cannot use my tools, I either can't find them ever again or you break them when you use them! I worked as an electrician since I was 15-18 during the summers and a couple summers during college and 1.5 after college for my uncles company, I can put in a dimmer switch!

I totally feel for you, because it sounds like your in-laws have a history of overstepping their bounds. However, one piece of advise: don't share the "I can't sleep because the baby makes noise and my wife has to pee" complaint. It'll get you no sympathy and just be fuel to your wife & MIL's fire

Well, she is breathing again today.

I'm having a drink for you. I'm not sure how that will help you but know that I'm having a bourbon for you right now.

I'm always up for a worthy cause and am drinking a glass of wine on the deck on behalf of DMB's obnoxious in-laws

DMB- they can't be worse with the remote than mine. I have basically zero tolerance for Lifetime movies, the Real Housewives of anything or Disney shows targeted to Tweens
