To be peed off with my mil

Hi, not a frequent poster infact i think I only post about twice a year,but any way.

The story is, it was my DH 30 b/day last month, I`d made plans in the afternoon we went bowling with the kids, in the evening took him out for a meal just the two of us, anyway the tuesday before MIL rang my SIL and had a bitch about wether she would be allowed to spend time with DH on his B/day,SIL told her to ring me to find out what the arrangements were, she rang me on the Thurday, saying how she thought it would be nice if we could have a family meal. So I told her arrangements had already been made, but she was more than welcome to come round in the morning of his B/day, she says no can do, has to pick out her mobility car will be in cambridge all day cant come round the day before as its not his birthday,baring in mind that she has had 3 weeks to sort out her car, but leaves it until his B/day to do it, she says she was ill. It turns out she went on the Friday any way so could of come round on the saterday but lied. So she tried to ruin his B/day because she couldnt get her own way, he rang her in the week after to find out what her problem was and basically she blamed me, I want keep her son away from her I dont let him have anything to do with her, wont let him do jobs for her (all bull*) and that she is sick and tired of tip toeing round me and wont be making an effort any more (she never bothered on the first place), so he tells her to grow up and not bother any more and hangs up on her.

He rang her a week later and she appologised saying she didnt mean what she said blah blah blah.No appology to me though.

Yesterday she rang I answered the phone she barks down the phone " there" no hello, please, nothing just so bloody rude.

And now Im peed off all over again, I just dont what her problem is.

Sorry its long, just so bloody frustrated by the whole thing.

Sounds like she just wants an argument.

ahh miis are like this, just look at all the other threads, basically it is easier to blame the partner than their child for their own frustrations. My mil is exactly the same, i dont answer the phone anymore,,am sure it rings differently, you know like the cackle of a witch when she calls. Sooo dont stress at least your dh told her off which is what few partners will do. You are a family, which she can be invited to when she behaves, perhaps next year invite her to tea the weekend before or after if you have family plans. and dont put up with any rudeness, i would laugh and make her have a conversation with you next time it will be killing her to be polite to you. haha

Pansy...sooo true! I do this with my MIL - you can just tell its killing her to have to 'chat' to me.....best revenge ever!

Thats the thing, before the B/day saga she was nice as pie to my face,but obviously behind my back she was slagging me off, but she would never come round the house because of me and my kids (she hates my 3 from a previous relationship)Wont accept us as family, she hasnt got the guts to say anything to me. I`d love to have it out with her. But she is gutless. Usually I think the whole thing is hilarious me and DH have a good laugh about her latest antics but this time she really peed me off!!!
