Basically MIL has been a bit strange for a good few months, finally GP said it could be depression. But it seems to manifest itself in medical ways, such as she has a bad back, kidney, thyroid gland. All it takes is a GP to mention a certain condition or bodypart and she's there saying it's killing her.
DS is being baptised next weekend and I have a funny feeling MIL will say she can't cope with coming, she has'nt been out in weeks. I today heard that FIL is also wondering how she will be and I wonder if he may not come too. Not because he looks after her - he gets out as much as he can. But because she'll be crying and going on at it about it if he does for leaving her while he comes. But if he did'nt come then he's only be out playing golf anyway.
We're only 90 minutes away so it wont be all day if they do come. And I'm not insisting they come back to our house afterwards either. But I want them to be at the service for DS. BIL has taken day of specially and he and SIL will be making the journey.
Both my parents are dead and I dont have any siblings. So I feel that IL's should be making the effort to get to DS Baptism. They came to DD's and both my DN's so am I right to feel just a little like never talking to them again if they dont come.
