In law problems

Anyone have in law issues?
My husbands off for military duty since the day we found out we were expecting out second, and ive been living with his parents for the past 6mos.
I can not deal with his mom and i dont want to say bad things about her to my friends or husband, but she is by far the most negligent, ridiculous, ignorant woman i have ever met. And these mood swings of mine are not helping. She is a wonderful person but when she is home, shes a totally different person! This whole pregnancy w/o my husband, ive had no help from her and she expects me to do everything! And yet she lets her other son who is 19 do whatever he wants and flunk out if hs AGAIN and yells at me when i tell him to clean up after himself. Not ONCE has she played with my son for more than 5mins and she yells at me for not letting him play past his bedtime with her when SHE DOESNT PLAY WITH HIM. and she says how i stress her out for living with her and that i am disrespectful. We barely speak, and i cook and clean the whole house everyday. If i wasnt living here, the house would be a constant mess, but worse, theyd probably be out on the streets right now without all the money we lent them!!! Im 28 weeks now and im stressing so much and i dont know what to do except vent here. I feel better letting it out now so thanks for reading. Hopefully my husband comes home really soon  :(
And if you are one who has horrible inlaws like me, i feel your pain.

My in laws were never mean to me when I lived there with our son and even took our dog too but I swear every little thing ticked me off! I've learned that I will never live with them again ever and that I think it's hard to live with anyone after living on your own! I lived with them for the longest 7 months of my life while my husband was deployed! It's hard but try not to let things bother you knowing there is an end! As soon as I moved out and my husband was back and everything was normal again, I was so much happier and almost forgot about how horrible it was! Lol and i even like them now and like when they visit because we're so far away and I know I have my own home now! I know it may not be the same situation but try and take comfort in knowing its not forever!

Can you move out even if it is just a small studio?

I would talk to your husband about it and if you can afford it, move out or maybe go stay with your own family.   Nothing you said about her sounds wonderful.

Ty for your support  :)
Ive tried that method of leaving their mess, but after a week i got sooo stressed because if i didnt clean no one did and it was horrible!! They are not the most organized people! Im not a neat freak but the mess they leave, id rather do little by little than so much at once! Haha so fail to that
