I was out of the country visiting my family last weekend and my DH told me on the phone that he had asked his mother to buy us a rug; she was at an auction.
She saw one, phoned my DH about it, described it - and he went for it, without seeing it.
I came home to see the rug - and it is HIDEOUS. The flea-ridden thing is huge and it clashes with everything in our room. And it looks filthy.
my MIL came round last night and I told her really nicely and most diplomatically that it was a really nice thought (she offered to buy it for us- not that dear) but it clashes with everything else. To which she replied in her bolshiest tone, and loudly:
"Well, I disagree with you." She said that twice and you should have seen her face. It was like thunder.
Then she was funny with me all night after that.
FFS. I KNOW I haven;t done anything wrong. I didn;t even ask her to buy the fecking thing!!!??
This is about the third time she has had an attitude with me recently (She is quite aggressive) and it really upsets me. I have bitten my lip so as not to upset the apple-cart but I don;t think I can do this any more. I have told my DH I don;t deserve to be spoken to like that and he says he will have a word with her.
Am just worried this is all going to blow up into world war three, but I do think something needs to be said or I will really lose my rag with her.
