To think my mil should keep it shut sometimes!

Name change for this as dont wanna put myself.. But paranoid lol.
Basically, get on well with my mil. But it is clear that she thinks I am somehow freeloading of my Dh and taking advantage of him at times.
I am currently a SAHM but will be going back to work next year when my maternity leave finishes. Currently I am not earning as my stat maternity pay finished earlier this month.
Whenever my Dh and I go out she makes comments as though he pays for everything- he doesn't! I have saving but this is none of her business so I say nothing.
This morning I put up on fb that we are going out for breakfast (Dh idea) and she made a comment "how about you treat your man for once, bring him breakfast in bed". I think it was a lighthearted comment but it still made me silently seethe lol.
I am the one who does the nights with ds, most of the time, Dh is currently in bed while I keep ds entertained, feed him etc, yet she expects me to rush about making her precious son a yummy Sunday fry up in between.
She seems to think I am some
Sort of lady of leisure because I am not working at the moment, but I have my own money, obviously Dh and I just pull our finances together and his money is my money and vice versa but I do have savings in my own account- which the rent comes out of.
It's just pisses me off, needed a rant!!

That's just reminded me my Mil asked dd how much my eternity ring cost

She didn't realise she was on speaker phone.

Jealousy.

Say what a great idea because you have decided that dp and are splitting the maternity leave. From next month you are looking forward to your roles being 100% reversed and enjoying all those wonderful lazy mornings and breakfasts in bed that you will deserve.
