MIL/SIL at me again

Basically, long story short, huge argument with DP and his DM & DS, which led to NC. I still spoke to MIL with updates on our baby etc. DP was fine with this.

We all met up and sorted everything out, happy days and all friends again.

So the other night my BIL and his girlfriend invited me, DP and DC on a day out the following day, which we accepted. We got there and I asked where SIL was, we then got told they hadn't been asked. I thought nothing much of it as I knew our niece would be at school and we see them a lot anyway.

We had a lovely day, however when we got home I got a message from MIL asking if we'd all been out, I replied yes, it was a last minute arrangement.

This then led to MIL insisting I make no effort, I'm unloyal etc.. which I don't understand as it wasn't me who arranged the bloody day out! I replied saying I was extremely sorry, I was unaware that SIL hadn't been asked and we can arrange something soon. I then got no reply.

I then informed DP of what had been said, who told his mum that she was being unreasonable having a go at me and if she was going to message anyone about it, it should've been him.

This led to an argument between them and I received a message from MIL along the lines of "thanks for telling him, I've now been had a go at by x, thanks a lot"

I've now had posts on social media directed at me calling me a snake & various other things.

I really didn't want to argue, I feel awful that she wasn't asked, but again.. it wasn't me who organised it! I tried to message SIL to apologise if we'd upset her, but she's blocked me on everything.

I feel absolutely awful that she was upset, however it was a last minute plan that me and DP were invited to.

Aibu to think that this whole drama and argument is completely unnecessary?!

@Clutterbugsmum yep 100% I'd never dictate who he can and can't have a relationship with, but I've said if he wants to see them etc, he can go on his own! I feel like I'm in an episode of bloody Eastenders! They're now blocked on everything, I don't want to read anymore abuse, it's laughable really. Time to scoff the chocolates we bought for them from the day trip, I think I deserve it!

What despicable people!

said some awful things about my baby, along the lines of she's nothing great.

Shock I would drop the rope completely.

@crispysausagerolls yep! My partner has well and truly had enough of them, which is understandable. They make my family seem very very normal!

@numberseven exactly, say what you like about me I really don't care, but do NOT bring my beautiful baby into this. I'm like a mother bear protecting her cub 😂 I reached a whole new level of angry today!

I can't believe they slagged their own granddaughter and niece off Shock

I'm not my brothers biggest fan (although I love my SIL) nothing dramatic just laziness but I adore my nieces I would never say a word against them no matter what he did.

She's a baby, babies are always amazing. Especially ones related to you.

Jamiefraserskilt · 07/06/2018 19:21

And your mil has just got the lowest a grandparent can go.
If she truly believes what she has said about her own grandchild, there is no need for her to ever see her again. Job done, no more eggshells.
Do not keep saying you are sorry. You have absolutely nothing to be sorry about.
You. Did. Not. Organise. This. Trip. End of.
their behaviour is shocking. Show these messages to your bil and see what he says.
Good partners communicate. If she had a problem with being called out by her son, she should keep her bullshit to herself.

It's just awful isn't it? They've always been abit of a nightmare but these past few days have been the worst.

Dp tells me stories about how his DM used to always favour his DS growing up and even once told him she'd pick DS over him any day. How do you say that to a child?

She often picks arguments with him and then makes up with him to ask him to lend her some money, his DS often does this too.

Psychotic I tell you! Very dramatic family, normally I'm left out of the arguments so in a way I always thought DP was exaggerating slightly with how bad she was, I've been proven wrong, she's very dramatic and argumentative!

I've told her that she can explain to my DC when older on why she doesn't know who they are.

At least you will never ever feel obligated to talk to, be nice to or spend time with these arseholes ever again! They can just fuck off!

chasingdonuts · 07/06/2018 20:42

@crispysausagerolls very very true! True colours show eventually! In a way I'm glad it's happened now rather than when my baby is older and understands what's going on. Good riddance, I don't need those toxic people in my life
