me and my boyfriend have been 2gether for 3 yrs and his mom is widowed i know she is lonely but she relies on us for entertainment. she lives about an hr away so when she does come over and go out and do different things she ends up staying the night. she doesnt really have anyone else besides her daughter but it seems to be every weekend or so that this happens. i dont really mind it so much, but it gets annoying real fast b/c she argues with a lot of different things i say. so im just wondering how to go about this? i have discussed this many times b4 to my boyfriend and he doesnt seem to be bothered by it

RedAthena agony auntIf your bf does not see this as a problem and you already discussed your feelings and concerns, then there is not much hope.

However, if you LIVE with your bf and you are contributing to the costs of that home, you have a right who gets to visit and how often.

Make sure you discuss how often is ok for overnight guests, regardless of who it is.

If you argue with anyone, how do you deal with it?

Do you agree to disagree, do you try and reach a reasonable compromise, or do you stand my ground.

Is he just disagreeing with you or crossing boundaries?

Pick your battles carefully.

One day you'll get old and may be lonely like her

Wouldn't it be hard if your children tried to push you off just to satisfy their spouses?
