AIBU Mother In Law from hell

[Mama8474749]

AIBU?
Last week, my mother in law spoke to me and told me social services will be in touch as my child is malnourished (all coz she wouldn’t eat the food that she’d given her). I took it on the chin despite being extremely upset, she’s not malnourished, in fact she’s a couple of pounds over and eats well some days, and some days less so (find me a kid who doesn’t)

I’ve now just had word that unless we take lateral flow tests in the car outside (she wants to watch through the window of said car so she knows we’ve done it) and she won’t let us in to her house tomorrow.

I’ve been super careful with Covid and my hubby tested positive after seeing her when she’d had a close contact trace from a flight so feel it’s a bit pot and kettle.

AIBU in telling her to take a long walk?

I introduced my MIL to lateral flows via my workplace long before they were publicly available. I asked her to use them in the past when caring for my soon and as someone who works for the NHS I 100% understand the importance of them so I am definitely understating of peoples fears… it’s purely for control.

Wow
And I thought mine was bad! After reading a few posts on here , I’m thinking that actually my mil isn’t that bad!
I think it’s very unreasonable of her! Is she good with her grandchildren? If not I’d be thinking why bother … toxic

I think hit and miss would be the best way to describe it! I am a people pleaser and didn’t always have the best childhood so I think I felt like I had to to be “normal” for my daughter but actually her behaviour isn’t normal and I shouldn’t have put up with it for so long.

Well done for not going. Make this year the year you don’t stand for any more of her crap! Might do your kids more harm than good being around such a bitter and mean person often.
