AIBU to think my MIL is being utterly selfish.
We moved into our new place in March, since then we've been ridiculously busy.
Decorating, fixing the place up, and all the other things when you move into a new place in a new town.
Since then we've been to visit MIL 4 times. She lives a good 45 mins drive away (along the M25 - so usually not actually 45 mins). I have back problems which makes driving uncomfortable, so it's quite a big deal to do a drive like that.
She is a relatively healthy woman, able to drive without it hurting etc. She's been to see us once, back in March.
For the last month we've been struggling, I've been struggling every single day with pain which the doctor suspects in endometriosis. We've been trying to get ourselves into a position where we can get off disability benefits and into running our own business. And our pet dog's health went rapidly downhill, which meant we were at the vets most days.
Resulting in us putting him down on Monday.
We have barely stopped, and are in desperate need of a rest to deal with our grief. Unfortunately it seems my body has had enough, and I've spent the day being sick.
MIL has just called DH up to yell at him for us not visiting for the last month. When DH pointed out she could always come see us, she got annoyed and demanded that we go to hers tomorrow.
I'm so sick of her attitude.
Despite being told that my health is bad, she still demands I drive there. (DH doesn't drive)
And she thinks that yelling at us to come over is going to make us want to see her! It makes me want to never see her! DH feels the same.
