Ok all, I am trying my hardest to fit in with my husbands family and don't want to step on any toes, My MIL is a shopper (this is putting it mildly) I think this is the case because she is lonely and using shopping to fill the void of not having her family around her, we are in a bind right now and may possibly need to move in with her for a while to get on our feet. I am willing to help her with anything and everything in the house, including organizing and cleaning painting everything for me. How do I make sure to help her out but not be over powering? Keep in mind we are a bi racial couple and that was hard in the beginning with her but now things are so much better with her. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.
Keep in mind she is pressuring us to have baby #2 and this will not be possible if we stay on our own.
