She's the sort of woman who has to be in control and will kick off at the slightest thing, like literally shouting and swearing, even in front of her 11 year old son. My OH has told me stories of when he's been repeatedly on the receiving end of her outbursts, and I've witnessed them myself. We don't have a thing in common and I strongly disagree with the way she behaves and her opinions on certain subjects, but that's a whole other story.
Anyway, for some reason she doesn't like me. I haven't seen her since April, and in that time she has invited my OH out for lunches and dinners and trips to the cinema and gone baby clothes shopping but never invited me along. She has asked how the baby is but never how I am! She knows I don't have a mother of my own and have no female family nearby.
Tomorrow my OH and I are having lunch with her and I am terrified of her causing a scene. She makes me feel really uncomfortable, and I'm concerned that as soon as the baby is here she's going to want to be there 24/7 like some overbearing shadow, telling me how to raise my child. I'm currently 39 weeks so that could happen any day now! I've tried raising it with my OH but he just told me to ignore her. I don't know if it's as simple as that though...!
Not sure what advice anyone can give me, but I was wondering if anyone else has had issues with their MIL and how they got around it?
TLDR: Let's rant about our MIL's!!
