Dear Abby: My future mother-in-law promised us a house that she inherited, but we're finding out it comes with strings attached. She's driving me crazy.
We were told it would take a few months to get the paperwork in order, so in the meantime, could we help with the upkeep of the property until we moved in? We agreed, but she dictates the day and time. My fiance and I have two days off each week. On one of them, we are off together, and on the other we aren’t. We planned it that way.
I called his mother and asked if he could just come on his day off. Her response was, “Oh well, you’ll be here soon enough, and he can do it whenever,” but she also said her husband will still come to help, which makes me think this will be something I will be dealing with forever. Any advice?Grit your teeth, count your blessings and accept reality. This won’t last forever, and in the end, you will be richer for it.
