The last few days have been very frustrating for me at home and not thanks to my husband either. We live with his mom (long story, but we moved in to help her save the house from Foreclosure and so we could save to get our own house) and I have realized that moving in with her was a big mistake. Last night I had to go to a PTA meeting for the school my son will be attending next school year. I am in charge of the PTA memebership and the President of PTA wanted me to attend. I thought it would be good for me to go and meet other moms so I have people to connect with and hopefully meet some children for my son to play with. So yesterday when I get home from work my mother in law asks me what my plans are for the night. I tell her I have the PTA meeting.... her response "Why are you doing that? Don't you think you waste enough of your time?" Umm ok, I didn't think doing something for my children was a waste of my time. ( I work full time, do Pampered Chef, go to school to get my teaching degree, and have 2 children) I always said I wanted to give my kids everything I never had as a child and my parents were never involved in school, we had to beg them to attend concerts that we were in, etc.
She couldn't just stop there she then made a comment about a Dave Ramsey book I had received in the mail. She asked me why I bought the book. My response was so that my husband and I could save money. She tells me well put it in the bank and stop buying books you don't need. At that point I walked away.
This is just a small portion of what she does to me. We have one more year in her house and then we are getting our own. I try so hard to keep my head up and my mouth shut but seriously I am at the breaking point. Please share some thoughts on how I can get through this. All prayers are welcome as well. TIA!
