I'm sorry to add to the anti MIL sentiment but I'm not sure if I'm over sensitive, she's insensitive or she's passive aggressive and manipulative and doing things on purpose. What do you think?
Some examples today:
going on and on about how much she was looking forward to spending time with her other GCs (who she sees a lot) in front of me and my DC and listing in great detail very loudly to them in front of us all the fun things they have planned. The other GC are clearly the favourites especially over my older DC (younger one still cute enough to get attention). So maybe I'm oversensitive to this and this is ok??
Telling me and DH about a friend's "poor" son who is struggling and exhausted because they have an hour's commute and demanding (very well paid) jobs and one (sleeping) child... DH has an hour's commute, we both have demanding much less well paid jobs and two non sleeping children, DH has in the past confessed our situation has caused him MH problems and... Nothing. No offer of help, not even an acknowledgement of what he wrote to her.
Saying how now everyone will be afraid of touching other people since the whole Weinstein scandal and how a male friend of hers used to touch her bum and she was fine with it.
There is also a history of putting down DH and making what she would call harmless fun out of our DC1 which of course colours my view for good reason, but I would like to know if this sort of behaviour is "acceptable" and I'm just overreacting (to myself).
