Yes, he is a student. he will be done this coming fall... can't wait! Thanks for the tip. i had a serious conversation with him on Tuesday. I think we will be alright.

I feel for you...it sure can be trying living with other people, at least your three years into this so just have a little longer to go..... you can do this!.....Try and keep your eye on the goal and gain strength through adversity....try not to let any anger, resentments or bitterness side track you....positive thoughts and gratitude. ;)

I totally hear what you are saying and I can relate. I am currently living with my in-laws too. We have many more months to go before we move to our own house. We also have hubby's brothers living under the same roof. It can be hard at times. While my MIL is okay, there are still times when things become weird and you don't have a clue what is going on. It seems that when things go wrong, it is always your fault although you are the last person to find out what happened. Its an assumption but its never told to your face so you don't even get a chance to defend yourself and now I don't even care to do so anymore because nothing can change their mind. Also, there are lots of expectations going on. You should do this that this that and after you do it, it is not good enough, never is so being me, I stopped and do what I need to do, find myself a job.My FIL he can go to the extent of asking everyone in the house if they want a piece of fruit but you and you are there right in the middle of everyone. He does it when my hubby is not home. It might be a small thing but it is not courteous at all. It shows how much you are not accepted as a family member and really sometimes no one can blame you when you don't feel like one.

If your dh has grown up with "maids" then I highly doubt if he has a clue what housework (i.e. cleaning up the trash) consists of. I've been married 35 yrs. and I still expect my dh to read my mind and do this or that. When I get annoyed he reminds me that he can't read my mind and that I need to tell him. That does get old though.:eek: There are men who automatically do house-chores:thumbup: but most do not see what needs to be done, IMO.

Thank you. I know you sent this a while ago, but it means a lot to me- the encouragement I mean. I have to have patience otherwise we wold probably have to re home our Louis and that would definitely break my heart....
