My mum and I are very close. She works mon-thurs and so comes over every Friday to see me, help out, see DS (5 months) and just generally be around. We sometimes go shopping, or go see my grandma, or she takes DS out for an hour or two so I can get stuff done/have a break.
My MIL has a random Friday off and asked to come round, but obvs I had plans with my mum (we were going to see my 90+ yo grandparents with the baby) so MIL said she would just come along. Now I'm not being funny, but they've never met and I'd rather not tbh. Grandma is 93 and has 93yo health problems and doesn't always like to meet new people these days.
I politely declined the offer so she said she would come and take DS while we went and again I said no. My GP love spending time with DS as does my DM. So MIL is whinging that I spend too much time with my DM and not her so it's not even. I get wrong for not ringing her with updates or sending pictures of DS (have a family whatsapp group where I'll upload pics sometimes) but DH does all that anyways. We always go up together as a family to see her every Sunday anyways but had to miss a week because DS was cluster feeding and PIL get all nervous and OTT when I BF in front of them so I don't like to. So apparently I'm now being difficult. We're going up on the Sunday anyways but apparently she had planned this Friday and what she would do with us so is now all disappointed.
AIBU to not cancel my plans? Also, do I sound difficult?
