Would you do this if your son and pregnant daughter-in-law were moving into their trailor with company helping

Question

This weekend we (my fiance and i) were helping our friends (richard and his 9 months pregnant gf Heather) move into their 2 bedroom trailor. They are 17 but will be 18 in a couple of weeks, their bday is only 2 day's apart. Well they wanted us to stay the night for 2 nights and so we did. The whole time we were there Richards mother was telling them what to do,how to do it and how to run his life basicly, i do understand that she's his mother but that isn't her house. And that don't give her permision to make heather so upset to the point where she's in tears at lowe's,and again at the house. When heather is just helping out and doing what she's suppost to do. His mother threw a huge fit on saturday over a stupid key. And they didn't even say anything to her about it and she just started fliping out. But heather and i couldn't do much b/c we are both pregnant and his mother had nerv to yell at us both, we can't be around those fumes how ever you spell it,and we can't lift heavy stuff.

Answer 1

Could I put up with it - absolutely not,  nor would I put up with someone who is not related to me to yell at me - I personally would have said something back if she had yelled at me I would have had to said something along the lines of - look me and heather can't lift anything we are pregnant - how about you doing it yourself"

I would not suggest she leave Richard,  but be there for her,  and suggests she gets Richard to speak to his Mother,  after all he should have Heather's best interests at heart,  and as she is pregnant her health should come before his mother's rantings.

They may be just trying to keep the peace, but eventually this has to come to a head,  his Mother is a bully and that is not acceptable.

Answer 2

basically, they are married now, so MYOB

Answer 3

I think Richard needs to sit down and talk to his Mother and ask her to give Heather a break

Answer 4

richards mom is just jealous that heather has taken away her little baby boy and made him a man , it will take some time for her to get over it , since she doesnt live there it shouldnt be a big issue , if she is horrible dont have her over
