Please tell me if IABU but I'm getting mighty pi*d off with my mil and the way she words things. We already have a difficult relationship and today she's just irritating me.
She Has not seen my baby in weeks, which is the norm- fine. Asked to come and take him a walk- we're in Scotland and it's yellow weather warning. Was snowing this morning and is currently snowing again. Didn't think it was a good idea but DH said fine, he can go in between as it was sunny enough earlier to have melted the first snow and the second lit was due at 2 (it's on now). Had baby in pram suit, fur lining for pram, hat, rain cover etc. Choose your battles and all that..
She went the walk and then stood in the main stair for half an hour letting all the heat out of our flat, talking to DH. I'm in the bath. She Didn't want to come in, needed to get home before the snow came on etc. DH meant to be working from home, his phone is pretty much constantly ringing and she's never once said 'I'll let you go etc'
Then says to DH 'I would have taken baby on the bus to your sisters but it's snowing.' There was no asking, she was telling him. His sister lives in a different council and it would be two buses and an hour and a half EACH WAY to get there on the bus. He's 8 months. I don't think so.
Then mentioned an upcoming meet up with her, me, SIL and BiLs girlfriend. DH said oh it'll be boys day for me and the baby then. Mil then says 'oh no, he will be coming with us, to see all the female relatives and get kisses and cuddles' again- telling not asking. Still all the while letting my heating waft out the flat- electric heaters so not costing the bloody earth or anything....
AIBU to be hacked off with comments like this or am I reading into it too much cause of our already tense relationship? We are civil and if anyone walked in on us chatting, I guarantee they would have no idea there was an issue but it's still underlying.
