Really really need to have a rant. My DD is 8 months old and to cut a long story short my MIL has been difficult on quite a few occasions since she's been born (And before but thats another story)...kicking up a fuss when my mother has the baby, not listening to what i tell her to give the baby for food and just generally doing her own thing. She seems to think she has more right as a grandparent than i do as her mother! Through all of it I have kept my mouth shut and bit my tongue so hard that i don't think there's much of it left. Anyway...me and my dp have been discussing my dd's 1st birthday (i know its ages away but still), our house is not very big and we have no garden, as my dd birthday is in August my mother suggested having a barbeque at her house, as their garden is much larger. DP has just told MIL of our plans and she has turned into a 5 year old child saying she's not coming, as she'll feel like a spare part coz she won't know anyone (lies all lies), so my dp suggested us all going out for a drink beforehand and she point blank said no. She will strop over this and expect everybpdy to just drop everything just to suit her as always. We are always having to tip toe around her because she gets paranoid about the smallest thing but this is really taking it too far. AIBU to think that she should grow up and start acting like the mature aldut she is supposed to be?
