I need advice on MIL?
Okay, she and her boyfriend will be here in a week...and they'll be staying for a whole week *shudders*. Hubby says I worry too much on how clean the house is to be, or how trimmed the backyard is to be. Everytime we go to their house, everything seems immaculate. I have 4 kids, and I will just do what I can get done, but I worry about the things she'll say to her friends when she goes back home. She does talk. Seems like I can't win. Any advice? Should I call someone to mow the backyard (my mower is broken), or have the rooms shampoo'd etc? Or just do the best I can, and if she likes to spread rumors on how terrible of a housekeeper I am, so be it. Hubby says, if they don't like how messy we are, they can stay in a hotel. Does he have the right attitude? Thanks!

Yes he does have the right attitude. And who cares what she tells her friends. Do you know or will you ever see these people. If she mentions the house or yard, just say "well, I do have 4 kids and 2 guests". Or better yet, arrange for them to stay in a hotel from the get go.

I think your feelings are normal. Do the best you can, prepare yourself for any remarks and don't think too much about "rumors" that she may start. Nothing you can do about it anyway, right ? Good luck and keep that smile pasted on your face. :-)
