Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Grandmother's in hospital, husband's parents are crazy

First problem: My grandmother (momma's momma) is in intensive care in Texas. She had some thyroid problems, messed her heart and stomach up. She is stable right now, and they are doing tests this afternoon. Momma is going to keep me updated. It always seems though, when they start to do better, that's when they die. I don't want her to die, not now. I know she is old and everyone dies, but you know how it is. I didn't get to spend enough time with her at the wedding, and I feel so badly about that.

Second problem (the first was the biggest but this is bad as well):

I'M NOT MARRIED TO TODD'S PARENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They won't leave us alone.

1st: Father-in-law came and got my car and put new tires on it, and he wouldn't take no for an answer. That's all fine and dandy, but now I feel obligated to do everything they want us to do. I could have gotten my own damn new tires. Arrgghh.

2nd: They keep saying "oh we haven't seen you in so long" and "you need to come eat supper more" and "we miss you" etc. It has to stop! We eat supper over there once a week, and I'm miserable the next day because everything she cooks, I'm not supposed to eat. I'm also trying to lose weight and she has everything smothered in butter and everything is fattening! BOOOOO!!!

3rd: Brother-in-law (Ryan)'s wife Elizabeth planned their son's First birthday party on a Sunday at 6 p.m. (on purpose of course so it would be an inconvenience for the Russell family). This is in Tupelo (3 hours away) so therefore we wouldn't get home until almost midnight. NOT GONNA HAPPEN! We both have to work the next day. But Todd's parents are giving us a guilt trip about it, which is soooooo not right.

4th: We wanted to go to deer camp this weekend and have a peaceful relaxing weekend, but when father-in-law found out about us going, now he wants to go and do work around the camp house. AND HE's BRINGING MOTHER-IN-LAW. I can't take it anymore! I just can't.

I'm having so much trouble out of my stomach. It hurts constantly. Like someone is stabbing me. I can't deal with them or the stress anymore.

I don't know what to do with out making them mad at me or ruining our relationship. They are great people, but NOT MY HUSBAND and they should not be treating us like this.

Please help me if you can give me some advice it would be much appreciated. I'm so stressed out. Thank you for at least listening and letting me vent.
