I’m sticking with the path of compassion when it comes to my mother in law.
- Actually, this is sort of a strategy I take with most anyone who I would otherwise be genuinely miserable with.
From the moment I met my mother in law, I’ve wanted to get away as well as put my face in from of the A/C ductwork so I didn’t scream. I’m a genuinely simple going sort of soul as well as it takes a lot to get me worked up. But this lady is just the center of turmoil as well as enjoys it. Needless to say, for much of my marriage, I’ve simply avoided interaction with my mother in law. Now that she is a widow as well as residing only 20 minutes from us, I can no longer do that. So, I’ve had to engage with her the best I can without losing it. When she purchased the lake house she currently lived in after she moved down to be closer to my spouse, I voiced some concerns. Of course, I didn’t voice those concerns directly to her but rather through my spouse. The main thing I spoke up about was the age as well as condition of the Heating as well as A/C equipment. It clearly needed to be updated as well as the seller should have put in a new Heating as well as A/C unit or the sale price of the beach house negotiated. That didn’t happen of course. And not even a year later, the heat pump just died. That led to my mother in law deciding to transport in with us. But I put a stop to that with the help of our trusted Heating as well as A/C corporation who loaned us 3 portable A/Cs until the new Heating as well as A/C unit could be installed.
