Hi
Not sure if anyone can give me any advice or maybe tell me if I'm over-reacting!
My husbands grandma is a bit 'much', she once told me that I was 'stealing him away from her' and I feel that everyone in the family has to 'dance to her tune' a bit- she regularly falls out with people (mostly her brothers and sisters!), rang me up when I was having pregnancy problems to tell me all about herself, regales us with tales of her horrible life etc
So this Christmas (not Christmas day itself) we're all together and we'd agreed to open presents after lunch, she handed me a present and said it was for our wedding and to open it now, I said that was lovely but I didn't want nieces and nephews to see me opening it as they'd want to pile into the presents! She had a proper death grip on my arm and kept going on at me to open it, she was a bit close to my face and it all felt a bit aggressive particularly as I was now pinned to the chair! SIL went and got H from the kitchen and I passed it to him to open, The only people in the room were SIL, DH's other grandma and FIL sisters so no-one 'directly' related to her.
I'm pregnant at the moment so probably feeling very hormonal!
Any help? DH isn't fond of her so that's not an issue, it's just that I'm normally a fairly assertive person but she just wouldn't listen and it actually upset me a bit.
