Advice: Her mother-in-law is always asking her for help, but she never returns the favor.
In the last month, I have assisted her in planning a surprise birthday party for a woman I have never met. My husband and our toddler son even traveled four hours away to attend the party because she would not take no for an answer.
I’d love to have a date night, but she always claims to be so busy, while I’m just down the road pulling my hair out!You are going to need to establish very firm boundaries with your mother-in-law, basically training her toward a new way of relating and communicating. This should start with you learning to say “no” and managing your own fears regarding the way your mother-in-law might respond or retaliate. When you have asked her to help you out, she declines! Let her teach you by example: “Sorry, but I'm busy.” “I'm going to have to say no.” “I'm going to say no. I have a lot on my plate.”
