I found out I had a missed miscarriage last week at my 12 week scan. Baby had stopped growing 6 weeks ago. I'm devastated but MIL said she would come and see us all today so my husband managed to get out of work early to go and pick her up and when he got there she was being funny about how long she was staying for. She said she would need to be back for Wednesday at 7.00 as she was having her friend over.
My husband was not happy with this as it would mean taking her back tomorrow night after work due to working. The whole thing just seems like a complete waste of time so my husband said it was probably best she didn't come( as that was her intention anyway) she just said ok but you've come all the way down. She does have form for this as the last time she came down was my moms funeral last year and she had an issue with that as she said someone at the funeral was rude to her, she has also criticised our other children's christenings and birthday party. At our wedding she went home at 5.00 in the evening she got there late and moaned as she was at the back. She also let us down when I had a Caesarian with my last child and cancelled coming down the day before I was scheduled to have baby.
I feel so upset and let down but I shouldn't be surprised. I know she isn't 100% health wise but she offered. MIL also is more interested in her other grandchildren and ours don't get a look in. What makes it worse is I know if my mom was still around she would help me without question. What would you do about MIL? I feel like not bothering anymore as if she is like this when I have had a miscarriage it says it all to me.
