We lost my FIL last year quite unexpectedly which was obviously devastating for us all. My MIL has never had a big circle of friends, her hobby is housework and shopping. She's now very bored and quite lonely so she keeps turning up at our house, everyday but unannounced.
It's grating on me now, am I being a total bitch? Is it my job to entertain her?
I try to stop and have a chat and a cuppa but sometimes I'm in the middle of something or I'm getting sorted to go out. It was less of a problem over Christmas but this week I'm back at work (pt), and kids commitments are back on.
I do a lot of volunteering and have suggested she gets involved in something similar but she's not ready to make a commitment. She keeps telling me how kind her friend is being by inviting her out and I can't help feeling it's a dig because I haven't suggested going out together.
Please be honest with me if you do feel I. Should make more of an effort with her.
