Furious with MIL

131 replies

Grr I am so angry with my MIL. She has to interfere or take over things. We live 250 miles away and this year we are at her house for xmas. She has something arranged for most days we are there (I have to see my own family at some time!!) and we have SS for the majority of the time we are down. I do not have a good relationship with my SS anymore, BM has poisoned his mind against me and she delights in telling me he hates me which he has admitted saying.

Problem is this...on christmas eve we have a girls night out, thats me and my 2 daughters..lol! We always go to the pictures and see a christmas movie and dad stays at home and looks after youngest. Not often I get chance to go out with just my two eldest and they love it. We invited MIL to come with us and she was really pleased.

Well tonight my hubby has spoken to his son and he son has told as that as well as other activities his grandma has told him he is doing he also looks forward to going to the pictures with us on Christmas Eve. I am furious. MIL didnt even consult me or ask if I mind..and I damn well do. At the end of the day his dads not going, hes not my child and things are very tense and fraught when hes around..I want to be able to enjoy xmas with my girls without all of this.

Problem now is what do I do??????

Agree with Alohas posts on this.

However, this has upset you on Nov 12. By the time the 24th December comes along you are going to be in the most dreadful stew about it (by the sounds of it).

Halt it now. Say that you have changed your plans for Christmas due to....mysterious adopted brother turning up or something. But please don't go through with this as no matter what (I have never dealt with stepkids) it will show through to both your children & and everyone else. I once went for 'christmas somewhere' with DH rellys and although I thought I was putting on a good show, everyone knew I hated it.

Dontcha' know. I am a busy mum.

Gosh I have gone really flushed for real. How embarrassing.

Did you end up going by the way? (sheepish)

I don't come out of Arts & Crafts very often.

Need to get out more.
