AIBU to think that MIL is trying to wind me up and doesnt like me.... (read total b*h)
...she treats my children differently to her other grandchildren. When ds was a baby her dog tried to bite him...it was DS's fault!! She made fun of a picture ds did at school about how he had painted his ears sticking out (this caused an argument) She has forgotten a few birthdays of my children. And the grand sum of dd's xmas pressie last year was a plastic crown which was broken and missing the plastic jewels. Niece and nephew get random presents bought through the year and MIL is always gushing on fb about what they've done. I put a lovely photo on fb of my daughter in her nativity and blurred out all the other children....all she commented on was the blurred out faces and PC gone mad etc....no mention of how lovely she looked.
...she was a nightmare before my wedding. She decided a week before that she was vegetarian and needed a veggie meal. She said she would come in her football top cos it was going to be a casual affair. a few days before the wedding she told us they wouldn't be staying in the hotel room we booked for them as they had someone viewing their house the day after and needed to be home. (yet came to wedding, gushed over niece and nephew, didn't say 2 words to mine, ate the veggie meal I had to beg the hotel to change over, cleared the hotel room of teas, biscuits, toiletries and left) yet day after the wedding she had invited oh's siblings to a meal not far from our house (but not us).
...I asked a while back when they were moving house if we could come pick up the box of toys we'd left at her house so i could swap for more up to date toys.....yet they had looked all over and couldn't find them...now the same toys have started showing up in photos of other grandchildren.
...They never come to visit us...its always us has to visit them. Even when they have visited an eldery relative in a nursing home 15 mins from us, or they will come to watch football 10 mins from us!!!
...she constantly tries to cause arguments between me and sil (tells her i've said something i haven't), she moans to sil and bil if they ever send my children presents without telling her...and god forbid they visit.... they get an earful on the phone then!!!!
Just dont know what her problem is!!!!
(sorry long post...rant over...haha)
