Mother in law

My mother in law never visits us. Well, in 7 years maybe 3 times. Even then she says she can’t stay and rushes off - my husband visits her at least every two weeks - he works really hard all week, so visiting her so often tires him, and we are working on our house, which I know upsets him that his mum won’t visit to see what he has achieved. The last time she came was 18 months ago. I visit her myself every couple of months with my husband (I can’t go as often as he) and she is either ok - or just rude. My husband won’t accept there I a problem - he says she’s old and doesn’t want to travel - yet she visits his sister or other family who live hours away on a regular basis. I’m just getting annoyed with it - I don’t think she likes me, that’s why she won’t come - but I feel bad for my husband. If I say anything he gets defensive - what to do???

There is not a single thing you can do. Encourage him to visit her alone, and you can stay home.

So what if she doesn't want to visit you? Why does it matter? If DH wants her to visit it's up to him to tell her. Maybe he should issue invitations? "We're doing a little tea for our favourite person, mum"?

Count your blessings, she sounds very unpleasant why do you want her to come round?

She's either ok or just rude. Thank fuck she doesn't want to visit regularly!

Try not to take it personally.

Personally l wouldn’t get involved. Why should you run around after her. I wouldn’t worry about it
