Old dog (snake) new tricks?

[SCWood]

You are married and living with your husband's mother?

My MIL is nuts. Full-on nuts. Fortunately she hates snakes so when the time comes for her to move in with a family member in her waning years it won't be with me!!!!

Fiancée 😶 and yes. Because we have nowhere to go.

Hey Kiddo....at some point you are going to have to put your foot down....and that husband of yours needs to support you when you do so.

Sounds like your mother in law is the old dog that needs to be taught some new tricks. I would not let either of my parents treat my wife or my kids the way you are being treated....I;d go shutty on them real quick.

These things do not get better with time. She is using the fact that you are shacking up with her to be petty and unreasonable. Again, stand up for yourself and your husband needs to back your play 100%.

I know I just hate the situation altogether. So far, I've been able to sneak my way around her. I hide gauges, I hid a scale, I taught her snake to eat rats over mice and by the time she noticed, she was used to it...then I explained why for the THIRD time. I feed weekly even though she demands biweekly. Little things come a long way. I've started by showing her I know what I'm doing and she's learning little by little to let me do my own thing. Boots is a whole other story. Because every time I get him a fewder, I end up having it several days after he doesn't eat it until I can find someone or something to take it...and she says it's cruel. 😕 I don't want to be a cruel person.
