DMIL has come to visit. Had a falling out last year as we were apparently not inviting her over enough.
Has 4 sons, all unmarried but DH, all tow the line, including DH although he's getting better.
With the fallout, I stood my ground and talked back at her, something she's never had from her sons.
She cried and made out I was attacking her.
DH was caught in between but it blew over as she then pretended nothing had ever happened.
I used to include her, make a fuss, cook elaborate meals, give her our bigger bedroom when she came to stay, take her out every day etc until we moved and needed time to settle.
This is when she kicked off about not being invited even though DH would still go and visit her.
Now she's here, it's been tense. When she arrived, she made a beeline for our bedroom and I had to break it to her that she's actually in the spare room.
This morning, she went to the shops with DH before I saw her, they got back when I was making breakfast in the kitchen. She walked past without a good morning. She'd seen me but I hadn't initially as I was grabbing something from the fridge.
I then shouted morning and she came back, mumbled good morning and went to her room.
Breakfast was a little tense but ok as didn't want to spoil it for DH.
We were all meant to go for a walk after but I stayed back as couldn't be asked.
She's taken it as a slight of course and rest of the day will be a pain. I took AL for this!
She goes back on Thursday.
Will I be unreasonable to opt out of rest of outings and never invite her again?
Obviously DH would still want to invite her as his house too but maybe work late whenever she does visit.
So done with the drama.
