Interfering MIL

I could write a book my MIL likes to play games I finally see she is very manipulative. I am a very strong women and not used to being molly coddled however H has not quite cut apron strings it’s got worse since she was made a widow last May. Early on told me SIL was her favourite not in so many words but i’m leaving her my Rolex (I don’t covert your Rolex watch or anything else). She did not like it when I changed sons nursery as I was paying and he was crying every morning as he did not want to go so I moved him not without some resistance from her and H. Today though my hubby took son to dentist straight from school so told me he would not see his mum today as Thurs usually her day to pick up son and hubby collects him from hers and she feeds them both. Anyway rushed home I work FT and put dinner on got a call from H to say mum called and invited them to dinner and I said I got dinner cooking as you said you would not see your mum today. He said I didn’t think you’d be cooking I cook all the time I said what you should of said is i’ll give wife a call and check her plans. Anyway H and son came home. MIL calls H later when she thinks i’ve gone to the gym. I then get a text after phone call finished saying don’t blame H it’s not his fault she invited them for dinner. Words fail me there was no issue no blame? When H came home nothing was said or needed to be said. Wife does not appreciate MIL texting when no issue until said text received interfering defending her little boy.

I sorry but that's really hard to follow - your MIL invited your DH and DS for dinner?

Doesn't sound like such a big issue to me - would just send back a jokey text saying no worries, I'll join them for dinner at yours next time rather than cooking, thanks for feeding them!

Cut the woman some slack for heavens sake particularly if she's recently widowed. Think how you'd like your son's future wife to treat you.

Sorry what? I didn't understand much of that.
