Is this passive agressive behaviour? She's here staying in an apartment nearby for one month...she lives overseas. Basically she involves herself in the minutae of our every day lives.
She arrives at 8.30am and stays till' 7.30 or so....she is just IN my face for hours.
Today we all went out...me her and DH with our 2 dc.
At one point we split up as DH was going to pay for a new TV...she has forced given hr opinion on what TV we should get to DH obsessivly for the last 2 days and when I interject with my opinion she blanks me...it's as though I never spoke.
Ayway...DH went to pay for the TV but the DC were tired and wanted home. So MIL and I got a cab and went home. Arriving home I realised DH had my key and my phone...he had taken them from me this morning while I did something with our DD and I forgot to ask for them back.
So MiL calls DH on her phone and then when I ask her questions as to where he is and will he be home soon, she blanks me! Totally ignores me and looks down fiddling with her fcking phone.
I had to say "MIL! MIL...what did he say?" about four times and she is NOT deaf.
then when DH comes in...she starts planning the fucking evening meal with him!
"Oh shall we cook that steak?"
I don't give a shit if he's her son...this is my house, my kitchen and my fridge.....I at least should be included in he conversation.
DH does include me when she does this but he won't admit she's doing anything wrong...he makes out she doesn't "know" what she's doing.
There are other things...this is just the last few hours.
What can I do? I end up sulking and getting in a snapy mood and DH gets pissed off with me and we argue.
