My In-laws SUCK

[DIRKSWIFE4]

We got informed tonight my inlaws are selling the house. They bought it (no credit here) and we were supposed to make the payments, then when we get moved in they say they are gonna buy it and sell it to us. OK. Well DH and his mom have been arguing over her trying to run our house (telling DH what to waer, where to go, to cut his hair) and shes giving me all kind of grief. So now out of the blue they are putting the house on the market, we've been here nearly 7 years!!!!

That sucks big time! Are they atleast waiting until the holidays are over?

[gmyers]

Sounds like if she couldn't control ya'll then you can't live there. Thats terrible!

That's aweful! My boyfriends mother is also a control freak. Haven't seen or spoken to her for years. It has taken a toll on our relationship. Don't get to be with him for holidays and even his birthday. She has control over that. Wish you luck!

Check with a lawyer. Some states, Illinois is one, where they MUST offer you the house first. If they sell it without offering it to you first, you may be entitled to damages. Wouldnt that be a nice pay back. I cannot stand crappy people.

I'm sorry this is happening to you and your family..sending hugs and prayers.

Hopefully it's just talk and they won't really sell the house. If they do put the house up for sale, depending on how the real estate market is in your area, it could take a year or more before it sells. And chances are they are going to lose a ton of money. If I were in your shoes, I would NOT go out of my way to make sure the house looks perfect for showings. hblueeyes offered some great advice...definitely check with a lawyer. I wish you the best of luck!!

Oh man. I'd be making fish stew and boiled cabbage before every showing and feed the baby some spaghetti when they get there.

Good one!!

what a truly crappy thing for them to do. I'd actually be surprised if they were able to sell it w/in a few months w/ the way the market is going, but if that's how his mom would want to play, I think I'd be more than happy to find another place where she couldn't hold her finger over us. GL

I have a great Bacalao (Puerto Rican cod fish served hot or cold) recipe that is guaranteed to stink up the house! It uses a dried salted cod that you have to boil the hell out off.
