Today I saw mil for the first time in 6 weeks and the first thing she said to me was not "hello" as you might expect but "we've been in the car for 2 hours and we couldn't stop for coffee". Not in a conversational type of way but in a it's all your fault you can't move for roadworks and flooding way. Then later on she realised she has forgotten fil's slippers - somehow DH's fault and so she decided to bang the mud out of fil's shoes in to the kitchen sink and all over the draining board. She then tutted that I hadn't cleaned up properly!!! I'm actually a bit anal about cleaning so this really wound me up!! Later on she said I had "cheated her out of her M&S vouchers" because she had voluntarily offered them to DH?? Finally, after lunch I had to stop her wiping DS's face with the cloth I use to wipe down the kitchen surfaces, Dettol and all. Again she tutted and told fil I was making a fuss and it would probably be better if they went home to have that coffee they had missed this morning ... 2 cups of coffee had been made during the morning. Sorry for the rant. I know this isn't interesting or relevant to anyone else but FFS!!
