I'm going to begin this by saying that I don't get on with my mil and I'm also heavily pregnant so I might be overreacting.
My mil isn't very nice, she wasn't the best mum to my dh, lied to him about his father, took money from him, treated him differently to siblings. She has spent the last few years convincing his family that I am a horrible person, told them I am stopping her seeing her grandchild, turning her son against her etc.
I decided about 18 months ago that for my own sanity I was going to have very little to do with her, all contact with my dd was going to be through my dh and I wouldn't step foot in her house etc. She very rarely sees dh and dd, about 3/4 times a year on average. They talk about twice a month, but she takes no real interest in his life at all, very rarely asks about him and dd, talks about herself. She is currently trying to see us more often but we think this is cause I'm pregnant again and she loves babies.
She visited today. She has during the 1 hour visit informed my dh that she is getting a tattoo of our kids names on her. With some nonsense about grandmas angels. This has made me angry. She takes no interest in her son or grandchild but now wants to tattoo their names on he body, one child isn't even born yet. I just don't get why she would do this, she is in her 50's and has not got any tattoos so why would she start with this. AIBU to be annoyed?
