Christmas at the in-laws #dreadingit

So we've never been to my MIL for Christmas. I was thinking it would be nice to let her see DD open her Christmas presents there. Stay for a few hours and go (DD is awaiting testing for autism and ADHD so gets bored very easy and likes her own things and company.) (MIL doesn't quite understand DD and her changes of mood.)

Everything seemed great at the beginning of the year. But the last few months she's always moaning about her 4 children and me more than normal.
Stating we never help don't visit her enough and such. Other children don't visit at all.
I see my MIL more than I see my own parents. We're round normally once a week or at very least fortnightly. Partner wrestled near his moms so me and DD go round then. But apparently that's not good enough. (Petrol costs affect it too)
I went to pick DH up the other day from his moms after he injured himself at wrestling he needed to go to A&E. He let me in and I went to find MIL to show her a picture of DD from a day out which we invited her to come along too she didn't want to go.
She said that's nice then went straight onto moaning about us all. I went and sat in the living room within 5-10 minutes DH was fed up of the moaning and said we were going.
From this it only got worse.
Since we left there has been little communication.
I feel as though MIL doesn't like me.
I really don't want to go and sit in a house where I feel so uncomfortable and just get an earful.
DH is on the fence as what to do, I know it's some time away yet, but I regret even offering to go round.
I'm the only one that drives.
