Dear Amy: My husband and I are decorating our new home, but I’ve been very busy at work. My mother-in-law offered to help, but she decorated an entire wall with close to 20 photos of my husband — and many with his ex-wife.
Kathleen and Sharon are still very close, and I understand why she included her on the wall, but it still makes me very uncomfortable.Dear Furious: The only thing you did wrong here was to “act out” and yell at your mother-in-law on the phone. I understand your reaction, but you invited her into this task, and when dealing with a new mother-in-law, you should think first and act later, when you are calm and more in control.
If you’d have been more in control, you could have stated: “‘Kathleen,’ thank you for your help with the house. I appreciate it. But the only wedding photos I’m going to display in our bedroom are my own.” If your mother-in-law chooses to maintain a close friendship with her former daughter-in-law, there is not much you can do about it.
