You say your buyers are dragging their heals and have not completed, so why are you not living in the house you still own?

Remind her, that when the time comes, you'll decide which care home she ends up in.

I suggest a one way ticket to Dignitas. Tuesday's are better, cheaper flights!

Whack her over the head with a spade and bury her in the garden?

Seems like the decent thing to do.

Sorry OP, sounds like a rubbish situation, I'd try and be out as much as possible and keep out the way when you need to be around.

MIL and SIL both had better offers for Xmas and declined ours last month...yay...changed their minds this month 🙁

Turkey goes in at 7.00am I go off out on bike for a good few hours then hide in the kitchen getting pissed pretending to cook.

Mil. "What's the washing doing?"
You. "Go and have a look!"

You aren't helping your self are you?
It's Your life you decide how you live it.. simples.

As Jimmy748 asks, if you still own your house, why have you moved out? If you have cleared it out, could you not get a few essentials out of storage and treat it like indoor camping for a few weeks? 😆

Or just read "Matilda" for ideas on how to deal with her............

Cheers

Sanny

So.

Unfortunately it’s her house so you have to suck it up while you’re there,

This. Her house, her rules. However,

("I DON'T ASK FOR MUCH BUT IT'D BE NICE TO SEE THE PATTERN ON MY CARPET UNDER ALL THIS DOG HAIR" for instance, despite hoovering very thoroughly, just before she comes home).

Why are you hoovering her house and doing her laundry? You should bitch that she's providing you with squalid accommodation and it's just not good enough. Fight bastard with bastard, I say. She's only being like this cos you're rolling over and taking it. "I've just hoovered, if it's not good enough then do it yourself next time."

Or, get her on her own and ask her what her ****ing problem is. (-:

She wouldn't hear of us renting and insisted on us coming to stay.

WGAF what she'd hear of? If you can afford to move out, move out.

The elephant in the room though is, what does your wife have to say about all this?

WTF are yo doing still living there. I donb't care the cost - I would be out of there tomorrow and never step foot in the place again. Life is too short to spend time with toxic people. short term rental, hotels, hire a camper whatever it takes even if you are paying of the credit card for a couple of years

Nothing is worth the psychological abuse yo are putting up with - and that is what it is - abuse

I'd not last a week with that situation. I'd be out. Living in a tent if necessary!

Cheers for the laughs and the sensible advice 😀

The house we're selling is in Sunderland, the new one which we hoped to be living in by next week is in Aberdeen. All our stuff is in storage, we can't let the old place and although I do plan to rent a room in a shared flat, I'll still have to come back here because I have a four year old!

Both MIL and wife work (mil P/T, and I'm still applying for all sorts of crappy jobs so I don't mind doing housework and the majority of childcare.

Yes, life is short, yes, this woman is toxic but we're all kind of stuck with it whilst we're still having to pay the mortgage on the old place.

I do have a small business which is already up and running again but it'll take time to build it up again, thus the crap job in the meantime...

I think Mine is on so much medication.
She is full on all the time; I can’t stand it.
She is a warning for not going on anti depressants.
I’ve seen here people wanting to come off them.
It’s not good.
My immediate family want me to go on them.
I say no.
It will go on my doctors record.
Nothing will change

My MiL does not speak any English, I maintain very limited Cantonese, the result, we get on very well.

Note: she is a lovely lady, from what I can gather.

Sadly, the only way to get her out of your life is going to be divorcing the wife and possibly selling the kid.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

YOu mean a warning for not going on the wrong antidepressants?

My MIL is incredibly toxic, I recognise an awful lot of what's been said in this thread.

Ultimately, there's little you can do but take yourself out of the situation. You can either challenge her back each time she undermines you, or you can disengage from her making clear that you feel that you're in a no-win situation.

I'd just be dropping hints there might be a connection between her treatment of you and the quality of nursing home she ends up

Ask her when she's free for a morning. When she asks why, tell her you want to make an appointment to see a psychiatrist because you think she has some mental health issues. She probably won't speak to you for a month. Job done.
Also "I'D BE NICE TO SEE THEE PATTERN ON THE CARPET" You - "Why? Have you seen it, it's ****in' horrble, no wonder you never hoover" = at least 3 weeks non-communication. Are you complaining about her food. Bring home a Big Mac and fries. Just tell that you were hungry and fancied some real food.

MiL is a lazy passive manipulative drug and alcohol fuelled nightmare. Though she did come a cropper when FiL went into hospital for a few weeks and she had to start doing things around the house and walking the dog!

right guys, in all seriousness we must have enough for a group buy in hitmen?

Or maybe we can get them all on the same coach trip to dover cliffs?

Open to suggestions?

Strangle her until you see the life drain from her eyes. Job done and you get to burn a few calories.

OP hasn't replied for a while, either he's on the run or she killed him.
