 I must be Mad.........

As the title says I must have been mad to agree to this crazy idea of my wife's and to think it would work. What is the idea i hear you ask, well the idea is living with my mother-in-law. Not only am I mad but also crazy, she has driven me to this.

It all started approx 6mths, when we brought a house, and my sweet darling wife said why don't we get my mother to come and live with us as she is all alone, and like a fool I said yes. At first for the first couple of months all went kind of ok, bearing in mind she is 82 and we are in our 50's she has no friends, and does.nt go out to meet any new ones either. She always wants to come with us wherever we go and  we, wifey and I never get any time to ourselves anymore, to do what normal married couples do.

Christmas was ok, because we had family come over, but now we are in the new year things don't change. I have been relegated to the upstairs part of the house, because she sits with my wife all night in our lounge,(she has one of here own). we run our own business from home, so we get no time away from her even during the day and I and sometimes my wife are at our wits end what are we to do.She plays us off one against the other, does'nt help out round the house. And for the last 10 years that we have been together, we have never had a holiday to ourselves, Is this normal, I don;t think so 

Any suggestions anybody?

Further updates will appear one weekly basis.

So until the next time, thanks for reading my ramblings

an impossible sitution uh.Umm Your wife and you are in agreement that her mother obligates all your time. So some tough love is called for.That is make time for you and your wife,can you leave your mother in law by her self without danger.Iam no critic but"mother in law backed you in a corner and you let it happend or didn,t want to invoke an argument" Are you ready for the long haul.Iam 60 but I imagine as folks get older hey get cranky.So if changes are to be made be ready for some rough times.You say your regulated up stairs. Is it absolutly vital your wife stays down stairs all the time."pardon me mum I need to see scooter for a while I,ll be back in a few minutes" then let the few minutes turn into a longer period of time.

Good luck
