That’s how, with a little cunning, I was able to get rid of my annoying mother-in-law.

Five months ago my husband and I became parents. Of course, we were very happy when I gave birth to a strong and healthy boy. Of course, it wasn’t easy with a small child, but my husband and I were doing quite well with our new responsibilities. My husband always helped me with everything. But two months ago things took a turn for the worse.

It was two months ago my mother-in-law came to visit us. Why? To help us with the baby. She came unannounced and absolutely refuses to go home now.

– Maybe you should come home after all. How is your household without you? – I started to ask my mother-in-law.
– Everything will be fine! My Robert can take care of everything! You need my help here much more! – My mother-in-law answered me.
– But we do cope with themselves! And you need a mistress for your home! – I tried to hint at my mother-in-law that she has to go.
– After all, you are having such a hard time! Without my help you can not cope! I will not leave you! – My mother-in-law cheerfully informed me.

“It’s harder for me now that you have come to us! It was easier before!” – I thought.

And it really was. After all, even though the baby slept so badly at night, I managed everything and wasn’t as tired as I had become after my mother-in-law came to help us. I just didn’t know what to do to get my mother-in-law to finally go to her house. I thought long and hard about what I should do and finally figured it out.

I decided this: if my mother-in-law wants to help, then I will make her help me all day long. We’ll see what happens. The next day I told my mother-in-law:

– I decided that I was going to go out to work. But for now I’m going to work part-time. After all, you’re here and you can be with the baby while I’m at work!
– What are you thinking? He’s such a little boy! I’m afraid to stay with him by myself! I will not be able to cope! – My mother-in-law screamed.
– It’s all right! Don’t worry! Everything will work out for you. In the beginning I will only work three or four hours a day. Of course I will have to get to work and back home. But that’s about six hours. Well, that’s all right!
– Oh, but what will I do if he suddenly starts crying a lot? How will I feed him?
– Everything will be all right! Everything will work out for you! Thank you so much for coming to us and helping us so much!

When my husband came home from work, my mother-in-law immediately ran to him and started complaining about me. But my husband backed me up:
– That’s a great idea! If Victoria will work, then we can save money and do repairs! After all, you came to help us, so you’ll sit with the kid!
– But he’s so little! He so needs a mother! – My mother-in-law disagreed.
– But Victoria will only be gone for a few hours. We could use the extra money. Thank you so much, Mom, for your help! You help us out so much! – My husband said and hugged his mom.

I pretended to go to work. While I was at my friends’ or out shopping. But every time I came home, I pretended to be very tired. I thanked my mother-in-law for helping me, but I got very upset when I found out that she didn’t make dinner.

– Oh, I’m sorry! I get so tired! I don’t have time for anything! – My mother-in-law used to say to me complainingly.

On weekends, my husband and I started going for walks in the park, going to the movies. My mother-in-law used to spend no more than an hour a day with her grandson. Now she had to take care of the baby and do all the housework. Such a life my mother-in-law endured for only two weeks. And then my mother-in-law said one night:
– Sorry, guys, but I have to go home! Robert can’t manage our household without me!

We, of course, pretended to be very upset by this news. And my mother-in-law went home. When my mother-in-law left, I breathed a sigh of relief. I was very happy to get back to my baby and my household chores.
