DP mum here for 4 months

I don’t live with DP but I spend every weekend at his and a couple of evenings in the week.
His mother has come to visit for 4 months. It’s been planned for a long time. I’ve been with DP 5 years. I had visions of happy outings chatting, cooking together, chilling together.
His mum actually hates me, or she’s batshit or both.
She makes comments under her breath, she expects me to cook and clean and if DP does she tells him to sit down as he works hard when he was on annual leave for a week and I worked fulltime that week (and every other week) and am a single parent. She actually started screaming and shouting “she’s a liar” (in front of my DD) when I said I’d cook lunch then due to DS being in hospital I grabbed something else instead and told her I’d make the planned meal in the evening instead when I got back from the holiday.
Theirs is def a cultural, and generation, difference but even so this is just crazy.
DP stepped in and spoke to her but even so, this is impacting our relationship and there’s another 3 and half months to go

Oh I see this is another pointless thread. Honestly MN is just a crock of shite these days.

Just stay completely out of the way while she is there. You can see your DP out of the house or at your place.

That’s what I have been doing, staying out the house. I’ve booked a holiday for just me and my kids and I’ve been staying home but there’s still a while to go yet.

If the previous threads mentioned above are true then his mother is the least of your issues.

Just stay away from his for ever

I guess you take 3.5 months to concentrate on you and your daughter and to think, and see if you even miss him by the time 3.5 months are up!
that’s if you’re NOT the poster others mention. If you are obviously you should just say bye this isn’t working for me.
