Dear MIMsters: Am I In the Wrong To Block MIL from Coming To My House?

Am I in the wrong to block MIL from coming to my house? Please hear me out.

I have been married for four years now with two children. My challenge is that for like 2 years now, I have not had peace in my marriage due to wahala from my in-laws.

In February 2017, my husband’s older brother brought my coughing sick father-in-law to my house. My baby was just three months then and my husband had travelled for a job.

Without pre-informing either of us, he dumped the man in my house with my two children. Five days later, my son started convulsing and there was nobody to run to. My neighbours helped take my son to the hospital.

My brother-in-law lives close to the hospital but he never showed up to see my son. My husband loves me but his family is creating problems for us. Now, their mother who is living with hubby’s older is sick with the same cough. BIL is always looking for ways to bring her to my house because they live in a two-bedroom flat. These people are not giving me peace in this young marriage.

I’ve said the woman should not come to my house and my husband has agreed. Did I do wrong?

  • Since when does people that live in 2 bedroom flat can’t take care of their parents? So it’s your bigger apartment that’s causing the commotion right? Please find a smaller apartment so you can all be even and tell the same stories. SMH, folks can be so unbearable, WTH????

  • Pls don’t b offended by my comment just an opinion, suppose the in-laws are ur biological parents will u stop them from coming to ur house? U see my sister, it may sound strange and difficult but truth is we should try to put ourselves in a situation and weigh it from d other side, I tink if there were to b ur real parents u would certainly find a better solution , so pls do wat u would do if dey were ur parents
