DS1 is 8 and wanted to stay with DH's parents. He went Friday evening and was due to return Thursday. He decided he wanted to come home yesterday (Monday) and so MIL brought him back. We live 2.5 hours away.
Upon return he told me that MIL had told him that she will not be planning anything special for him on any future visits as they were supposed to be meeting with her friend and going to the cinema. Also he was told that he would not be invited again for a while because of his lies.
The lies in question are in relation to ds wanting to go on BIL xbox and said he only was on it for 15 minutes, now we all now that 15 mins to an 8 yr old is probably an hour at least so there wasn't an issue there. ds had told me about this on the phone and I shared it with MIL on the phone. But the bit that pissed me off was that when I got off the phone to her she pulled ds up on it. She told him that telling such lies would hurt BIL's feelings, he's 23.
He wet the bed while he was there and I am told that he was not told off for it. But last night he was upset, crying, never wants to go again..
He has had 2 bad nose bleeds this morning and begs me not to tell MIL what he has told me as she might shout at him for it. He seems so upset by it all and as much as I want to ring and find out what the hell has gone on she tends to make everything about her and be the victim so there really is no positive outcome in confronting her. DH says not to let him go again and I do agree but why does no one face up to this woman about anything? DH won't ring her and instead will discreetly speak to Father IL but I doubt anything will be raised with her.
I am not quite sure what I am asking here, a viewpoint, some perspective or advice? Thanks for reading..
