MIL can be quite needy and constantly phones DH to take her to the shops or to do things for her if she can't get out. He tries to help her as much as he can but he works full time and we have 3 DC. When he tells her he can't do something she tends to be quite moody.
I found out at the begining of the week I suffered a MMC. On the second day of taking the tablets for medical management, MIL had asked DH to take her to the shops. I was bleeding heavily and was in a lot of pain, so he told her he couldn't. The hospital had advised I shouldn't, if possible, be left on my own. MIL wasn't happy in the slightest (she didn't know I was pregnant) and was quite nasty to DH. She told him that he doesn't care about her in the slightest, that he is a disgrace to humanity, and has not to contact her again. He got upset and hung up on her. Now she has even stopped facetiming and phoning the DC.
Wibu to contact her and tell her that we are going through things she doesn't know about, that her comments are completely out of line, and DH doesn't need her giving him a hard time? He was only trying to help me. Or should I leave things as they are and let them sort it out between themselves?
