Nosey Mother in Law

I recently posted about my husband & I splitting but back together to try and work stuff out.
my mother in law always takes her sons side and told me when I had post natal depression that I should cook meals more and make time for her son.
she adores her Granddaughter but thinks that gives her the right to interfere saying we don’t deserve our child. That comment hurt.
recently she won’t leave me alone about our business and now her daughter- my sister in law is getting involved and had a go at me for asking my MIl to leave me alone:
How do you politely cut out nosey in laws

How are they communicating all this to you? If it's in person then stop seeing them. If it's by phone or message just don't answer it Smile

Are they bothering your husband too? Or just you?

I would block her number or just ignore her messages/ calls. I also wouldn’t be there when she comes over.

Forward every message so far to dh and tell him to deal with them. Block today and don't regret it.

Unless you live with them... in which case you need to move out ASAP...

I'd be telling them to FO as politely or not as you like then refusing to see them / respond to them as they are not helping any depression you might have. I'd be telling your husband he needs to keep them at bay and not bring them to your house as it is your safe space. They are not helping your relationship. Come up with maybe 1hr a week where they can see your daughter - supervised by him- and that's their lot unless they cut out the nasty completely. Although you need to think seriously as to whether you want your child in their mits if they cannot be at least civil to their mother.

Bothering my husband too- not his dad, his mum. But he ignores her so I get all the brunt of it.
