Since our DD was born 8 weeks ago, MIL has been an absolute nightmare. Breaking boundaries, very overbearing and overstepping constantly. She claims she’s just excited about her first grandchild, but she admitted in my pregnancy that she always wanted her own daughter and was devastated she never had one. Her husband and closest friend has warned her to calm down and warned her that she’s behaving as though my DD is hers.
For more context, you can read some previous threads.
Anyway, the relationship between myself and her is still civilised and respectful, but not what it was before DD was born.
We invited them over to visit this evening and usually do this every fortnight. This time, their other son visited too. He and I get on well. As soon as she came in, she immediately asked whether they could all have a photo together (including DD) but not including me. DP questioned why I wasn’t included and refused. She said, “Oh, ok” and no longer tried to get this photo and never mentioned it again.
Not sure how I feel about it to be honest, I already feel so drained by her. DP mentioned she was being unreasonable not to include me as though I am not family.
What do you think?
