My MIL is generally fine, I’ve known her over 20 years and she lives 100+ miles away so I don’t have to see her very often. I expect we wouldn’t be any closer if we lived nearby but we’ve always got on well enough.
BUT she really hangs onto stuff and the latest obsession is driving me to insanity.
She is now phoning every day to bring up something I did that has massively insulted her.
Last Autumn she came up to our town to stay the weekend for our child’s birthday party. She stayed in a hotel because at the time we were renovating, this is NOT the issue.
She arrived at lunch time Saturday (party on the Sunday) and went for lunch with my husband and our child whilst I was getting my hair done.
I drove into the town centre and parked up, paid for my ticket and went to meet them.
Shortly after I arrived we nipped into M&S so MIL could pick up some snacks (she did also come to our house for dinner in the evening) for her hotel room and we could get some last minute party bits.
MIL got a validation ticket for parking (min spend of £5 required). She came over and presented it to me. I told her I had already paid and she was visibly disappointed I couldn’t use the validated ticket she had presented me with. I said thank you, I was grateful but it wasn’t needed.
Since then she has brought this up about once a week and now she’s bringing it up daily.
Am I missing something because I’m starting to lose my mind!
Today alone she has phoned twice and followed up via text about how I’m rude to have bought a ticket.
I know people will ask, no signs of dementia.
