  • Apologize to\u00a0your MIL.\u00a0Acknowledge the fake key and apologize for how it\u00a0was handled, noting that public shaming wasn\u2019t the best approach. Explain by\u00a0saying, \u201cI\u00a0felt uncomfortable with your unannounced visits, especially after what happened,\u201d and mention the naked incident vaguely without details.\n
  • Resist yielding to\u00a0her requests.\u00a0You deserve comfort and privacy at\u00a0home. Unexpected visits, like the \u201cnaked incident,\u201d disrupt your security. You have the right to\u00a0control who enters your home. Feeling stressed and unsafe at\u00a0home affects your mental health.\n\n\n

    Keep moving forward.\u00a0Look ahead and ask for a\u00a0better solution. \u201cI\u00a0care about our relationship, but\u00a0I need to\u00a0feel safe at\u00a0home. Can we\u00a0talk about setting rules for future visits?\u201d Don\u2019t keep bringing up\u00a0old stuff or\u00a0blaming anyone, as\u00a0it\u00a0can make things worse. Instead of\u00a0just saying no\u00a0to\u00a0visits, suggest different ways that make you feel comfortable.
    \nTalk to\u00a0your husband and ask for his support.\u00a0Talk to\u00a0your husband about how you feel with your MIL\u2019s surprise visits. Work together on\u00a0solutions. Be\u00a0patient\u00a0with your MIL, change takes time.\n

    Dealing with a\u00a0mother-in-law can be\u00a0tricky. Things can range from getting strange\u00a0gifts\u00a0to\u00a0her showing up\u00a0unannounced. It\u00a0takes patience and understanding from both sides to\u00a0handle these situations.\n
