Now, she's turning to the internet for adviceOne woman says her mother-in-law is finding creative ways to drop by her home unannounced — but she's had enough of the unexpected visits.
In a post published on Reddit, the anonymous woman writes that her husband's mother "seems to have wiggled her way into my life."
Despite her husband recently telling his mom the couple couldn't spend a lot of time with her, she has now found new ways to interject herself into their lives.
"She calls my husband when she's close by, asking if she can stop by to either see the pictures we hung on the wall, our new furniture orientation, or even our new table in the house (which she saw when we bought it at the store because she was there)," she writes. "But she hasn't seen it in the house so she needs to come over?"
She continues: "Or when we finished some home projects and she called saying she had to drop something off for my husband, came over looked at it and gave her opinions and left without giving anything ... Then my husband and I decided to do a trip this year and she heard about it and said she's always wanted to go and we should go together."
"How do I prevent this behavior now and her just thinking she needs to come over because she wants to see every time we do something new in the house?" she asks in the ending of her post.

Other Reddit users are advising the woman to find her mother-in-law a hobby.
Writes one commenter: "She is lonely. She needs to find an outlet other than you and your husband. Is there a seniors' center in your city? I think the Y has classes for seniors. She could do tai chi or aquatic classes and meet people her own age."
Adds another: "You are going to have to sit down with your husband and come up with some consequences to her overstepping, then explain to her what they are and what will trigger consequences: 'You need to stop coming up with excuses to come to our house. We will invite you when we are ready.' "

Charli XCX's Post-Wedding Style Is Less Bridal, More Glastonbury
Following her City Hall wedding last weekend, Charli XCX is already back to work. While the singer has a bigger bash scheduled, don't expect her to exhaust bridal whites. Just days after her wedding, Charli traded her Vivienne Westwood minidress for an outfit that could have just as well belonged at Glastonbury. And, in many ways, she took some cues from last month's headlining performance look. For her Day Four set, Charli hit the stage in three multicolored Alexander McQueen skull scarves, rejiggered to make a crop top, which she paired with black leather microshorts, a pair of maroon knee-high boots, and wraparound shades. Joseph Okpako Click News and Media / BACKGRIDUSA Earlier this week, Charli followed a similar outfit formula. She eschewed the scarf top for a black one-shoulder top and draped herself in an ecru pashmina, but stayed loyal to the microshorts in a gray-brown pair with similarly miniature pockets. She also hung onto her knee-high boots, donning a pair of black motos, and wore her large black shades. A noted fan of Anthony Vaccarello, she carried a quilted black Saint Laurent bag. While her style may be leaning more Glasto, Charli XCX still has time to make bridal style bratty before her trip down the aisle.

Mariah Carey also styled a knit dress while in London on June 17, wearing a Tom Ford design following her performance at Capital's Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium. While the summer season often gives way to florals, lighter fabrics and linens, knits and sweaters can be a wardrobe's secret weapon at this time of year. 'A modern take on knitwear calls for a blurring of the lines,' Chloé Harrouche, creative director and founder of Loulou Studio, previously told WWD. 'To look at the pieces with fresh eyes, to elevate and not put it in boxes. A fine cashmere sweater with jeans, a chunky jumper with silk trousers — these balanced contrasts, I believe, create the strongest silhouettes.'
