MIL frequently has people staying with her and see my house as an extension of hers and invites her guests over to us. She did this again on Saturday - four people I've never met before and am unlikely to see again.
I cleaned the house, made dessert, welcomed them, made some polite small talk and excused myself from dinner. Pretty much kept out of their way and busied myself in the kitchen. Chatted to them (albeit briefly) and said goodbye at the end of the evening.
DH thinks IABU - hasn't spoken to me since. MIL is playing the injured party (emotional blackmail 'DH is my only son, I'm so lonely, I'm not well - cough, cough').
The bottom line is MIL is a control freak who will never let go of DH and he will never grow a pair and stand up to her (well, he does lose his temper frequently with her but she's on the phone most days 2 or 3 times - coughing and or crying).
What do I do? She is the only thing DH and I have ever argued over. I feel like she walks all over him and he feels I should support him and that I'm making him choose.
Sorry for the rant - its been a long weekend!!
