I need some help please.
My Mother in law (to be) and I aren't on speaking terms. Long story but I had a disagreement with her daughter and granddaughter and in turn, the MIL decided (without ever having a cross word or saying anything to me) to side with them. As a result I am not allowed to enter her home (you may read this and add that there;'s no smoke without fire, but my MIL is an unreasonable lady at the best of times and is known for being miserable). She lokos after our 2 year old (whom she adores) twice a week, but I have to toot my horn to indicate I've arrived (her partner, my fiance's step dad is absolutely fine with me, if anything he over compensates for her behaviour). Anyway my fiance said he'd take our little boy to visit her on Christmas Eve and she wants to know why she can't see him Christmas Day... He replied and said because she wouldn't let me in her house and how could he leave me home on my own on Christmas morning for a few hours. I'm penning a letter to her to say she is welcome to my home Christmas morning for breakfast and that I accept our relationship is what it is, but we need to be civil for the sake of our children. Has anyone any tips on how I can word this tactfully - I want to be the better person in all of this and avoid conflict as my little boy grows older. I'm a very strong person and will not tolerate bullying from her or her daughter or granddaughter so please don't think i'm a shrinking violet. Thanks in advance everyone.
