Mil not interested

[sarah0106]

So my mil has never really been there for my partner growing up, we have a 5 month old and while pregnant I thought she might show more interest as first grandson. Cut a long story short myself and her have had words since son being born till now. She said she would change, come to visit more, spend time with son and grandson. This lasted a 2 weeks was around every day for hours sitting in silence. Partner asked her to cut back as he wasn't used to her being round all the time and used to her only being in the house once in a blue moon. This has been twisted to be me by her, she now doesn't contact myself or spend any time with grandson or come across wanting too.

Am I asking to much that she not atleast shows and interest instead of making it seem like she just doesn't care about her first born grandson?

If someone told me to come less often, I'd probably arrange to come once every five to seven years, if I wasn't too busy doing other things like counting paperclips or sorting out my shoe collection.

You are trying to change her into what she is not. You pulled her up on not coming round, she then did come round and then you told her it was too much! She is likely confused and upset.Let her be and concentrate on your own life and family. She isn't the MIL you want, you just have to love with that.

How often was she coming round beforehand? Before she stated coming every day?
