Apologies for the rant I'll try to keep it short. My MIL is driving me mad, in fact my husbands inability to stand up for us is driving me mad. In a nutshell my MIL makes a big song and dance about missing our kids (we have 3 under 5) but makes minimal effort to see them (she lives 2 hours away and drives). She visits but rarely "helps out" and she sees her visits as a way to relax and put her feet up. She makes snide remarks about the beautiful things/gifts my family does for my children (they live far from us) and has recently taken to putting "dibs" on our baby furniture for her new grandchild (despite having never made such provisions for our children; the stuff is for her house). my husband has said nothing, yet expects me to accommodate her (like taking time off work to wait for her to visit). I know part of it is that I feel she rules out roost but despite discussing it with hubby he says it's my problem and to get over it! I must add that he makes little effort with my family and at times openly insults them and I have fallen out with my family over him. Does anyone have any advice? TIA x
