To think MIL is up to something!,

[Southwest]

we have had no contact for over 18 months

Bliss

This is just the way it has been helped by a thread on here where I posted about her yelling at me, taking food out of my kids hands to give to their cousins, me ovhewring her tell dc to 'go away and don't come back' etc etc

We are so much happier

I have told dh she is not allowed in my house (it's new so I expect she is gagging to get in)

Anyway we are at my Mothers

She calls my dcs for the first time in 18 months

I think she's up to something and I expect she is planning a visit.....

What was her reason for calling your dc's? Did she apologise to them?

Remember, YOU call the shots. I'd allow her to see her grandchildren, but I'm a mug. Can you meet somewhere neutral, like the park or a cafe?

You've probably got in when you said she'd want to see the new house. Stand firm

She can only plan a visit if you let her. If you just say no then that is the end of her being up to something!

She can plan all she likes. But she can do nothing that you don't let her.

Don't worry. Would your DC even want to see her after she told them to go away and not come back? (not to mention the food snatching!)

I remember that thread.
Stay calm and strong

You say the past 18 months have been bliss, do you want to risk losing your blissfull state if you resune contact? Be wary.

She called for a chat!!
I was out my mother was in....

We will be at my mothers for a couple of weeks just my husband and older child at home!!!!

No apology (apparently my FIL is expecting me to apologise to them)

She is not allowed to visit, I have told my husband he can take kids to see them and I won't stand in his way however he needs to think carefully what he will allow his parents to do to the kids......

Can't believe someone remembers the thread! The answers were what I needed to put w stop to it and we are so much happier!

Thanks
