Mil have never been close. I feel that I have tried to instigate a relation with her asking for her advice, ringing for a little chat, visting her on my own when on mat leave etc.
However the problem is that she snipes at me sometimes in front of people and mostly when dh is out of ear shot.
Comments such as you know what she is like, you know she is wierd. When I do something that she thinks is odd for example making stuffing into balls rather then flat in a dish she pulls this wricnkled face as though it the most stupid idea ever.
Now I know that some of you think why would I get my knickers in atwist about her giving a feck about my stuffing but the point is it is just one of many things she does to me to make feel stupid or strange and generally make me feel undermined.
I try hard, invites to dinners that are never reciprocated. I am fed up with her, I have never once answered her back because of dh and not wanting to create an argument but feel the time is comming when I will explode with all this resentment.
So should I keep biting my tongue or start answering her back.
