Re: hate it...
Learn to ignore. You are so lucky masa allah that your husband tries to understand you and does not blame you for everything. Who really matters your husband or your inlaws ? If your husband is nice with you why do you bother with the rest ? And don't expect your MIL to treat you like a daughter when you are not treating her like a mother. Offcourse she will always be more concerned about her own children. Why do you expect her to ask you how you are doing ? And people do come into your room in a joint family system . It has both pros and cons. Give some time everything will get settled.
PS: Try to look at positive side of your MIL too she is cleaning your room and doing all the cooking in 99% of the cases it's the other way round.
Re: hate it…
You’re homesick Nadz…thats all. 
Dont read into these things at all. At least you dont have the kind of MIL that wants to know every single teeny tiny thing that transpires between you and your husband. Your husband is on your side and thats all that matters here.
Hope all is well with you!

Re: hate it...
Are you and hubby planning on staying with his family permanently OR is this temporary since you've only been there a week?
Re: hate it...
Give it time. Its hard enough for girls these days to move from one part of the city to another. And you have moved continents. You will be fine iA.

awwwwiieee now i feel horrible.. sorry nadz, i was j/k to lighten up the mood :(
Anyway, your husband seems like a pretty awesome dude and it's great he's on your side. Hang in there. Hopefully things will get better. The whole living with the in laws stuff can be rough I guess. But I think you've mentioned before that your husband is your cousin so is it his mom you're related to, or his dad? If it's his mom, maybe as a last resort , I dunno, you can have one of your parents talk to her, if they are her sibling. :-/
Re: hate it...
omg i feel so sorry for you
come back!
Re: hate it...
Snuggle your baby and be glad your hubby is understanding and supportive.
And since your MIL does not seem evil, just maybe annoyed or resentful, see if there is any way you can see some issue from her perspective and can improve your relationship with her. You've only just arrived, but you are now part of this household; not a guest. How can you convey that to her? Especially since she is working, you want to make sure that you are making yourself a part of the family and sharing in responsibilities and joys.
Also, if I remember correctly, your MIL is your khala/phuppo/chachi/mumani/or something, so keep in mind that the family marriage brings with it added layers of complexity. She knows you as a niece and there are positives and negatives associated with that. And she knows you as the bahu who lives far away; she now needs to get to know you as the bahu and niece who is close to her home and heart.
Re: hate it...
well you wrote that she works and also that she was complaining about how she has to cook everyday....you also wrote that she cleans your room....well you need to take part in house chores....she seems to be one doing all work.....why does she clean your room?don't you clean it yourself? nayi naveli dulhan luxuries come only if there are any maids in the house, if there are none, then you have to start doing the house work ASAP to avoid more issues...how about cook and keep the food ready and clean the house by the time she comes back from work?I am sure she will be impressed...it is obvious that she is getting mad 'coz she has to do a job and then comeback and do all chores....it doesn't even sound fair that way!
