Being stressed about MLM

My step MIL has a friend who is into MLM or pyramid scheme selling and she keeps telling me to go to their meetings to meet and socialise with people. When told first time, I told her I have seen what MLM is like and know how it works, and firmly refused to be involved. But MIL is refusing to believe it's MLM and keeps telling me to go to these things; when I refuse politely, she tells me off for being 'not open minded and rude' to refuse her friend's good intention.

I was recently made redundant and also heavily pregnant with first baby, so I know she thinks it might be an opportunity for me to earn some 'easy money' (the friend's words). My step MIL never had any children of own so she might also think I am stuck at home bored, but I am fairly busy with preparing for baby!

DH said she will talk to her, but I fear that will make her blow up. Gosh, I used to have a housemate into MLM and now this! When will it end?

Might be entertaining to go just to watch them fawn over you in desperation. In the meantime, this blog is pretty funny ellebeaublog.com/

Basically, it's all fake, nobody makes money (not even the ones higher up in the chain and definitely not the ones at the bottom) and you should stay as far away from it as possible.
