Re: Ways to Deal With a DifficulT MIL ..!
PCG, when girls say the MIL objects to waking up late, it is not 8am but b/w 10am-12noon.
I used to wake up at noon when I was a bachelor (my mother hated it, my father spoiled me), however, when I got married, I knew it won’t be an acceptable tradition to carry on…once in a while is different but you can’t be doing that everyday unless you don’t live with in laws, don’t have kids arounds, your husband is off to work, and/or the entire household wakes up at that time.
I have a cousin who literally wakes up b/w 11am-12noon every single day. She has 2 kids, I don’t know what they do all that time when she is sleeping (MIL looking after them, etc?). By the time, she comes out of her room, the massis are done with cleaning and her MIL is done with cooking.
I am not going to argue with the OP, it is up to her what kind of atmosphere she wants in her house, she can change some her habits that will prevent others from pointing fingers at her. Last but not least, if a girls want to call husband’s house/in laws house “their/her home”, they have to show it through their actions too.
