Stupid MIL and my stupid Dh...

[EnchantedWithEdwardCullen]

She only ever rings when she wants something. I have SO many valid issues with her ... I can't even go into them, I'd be here all day.

Today i think I am being a bit unreasonable because shes moving and DH went to help. She doesn't have alot of stuff and DH said she was picking him up at 12 and he would be back at 3 ...

but she came at 11am and still no sign of him coming home...

Im just tired and don't want to deal witht he kids, its been pissing it down so been stuck in.

theres something up with the TV and they want to watch a film and DH is not answering his phone at all so I can't do anything

I could be in labour for all he knows

Im being bitter i know, but the shit Ive had with this woman over the last few years... I just hate her.

I don't want to deal with her at all and I find it annoying that DH agrees with me... he knows what shes like... but still drops us for her whenever she asks!

Grrrrr.

And shes not an old woman struggling to move... shes 43! and theres other people there helping.

YABU he is helping his mother with moving, no matter what kind of a bitch she is to you, if he didn't help her it would reflect badly on him. It is only an extra couple of hours, you will survive.

I agree that he should answer your calls if your near your due date. that is just irresponsible otherwise.

but how could youhave thought she would have been finsihed moving in 3 hours? come on now, its an hour late...hardly midnught is it.

im afraid i actually do think YABU

I don't care if it reflects badly on him!

It reflected badly on her when she didn't turn up to the kids halloweeen party because she needed to do some clothes shopping.

Or how she didn't turn up to watch the fireworks with them, with no good reason.

Or how she picks up her OTHER grandchild EVERY sunday, but NEVER ours ... and says she cant take them on a saturday but because she is moving today i saw her with the other grandchild yesterday instead

Or when she was outside using our internet connection in her car for her laptop (?! ) we asked her to come in for 20 mins and watch the boys whilst we put up our new dds wardrobe, she said yes...

then sat in the car for 40 mins....

then drove off!

hello I think everyone has run out of mother-in-law sympathy

sadly just because she's been mean to you doesn't mean you should tit for tat

but she doesn't sound very nice and it sounds like you get the rough end of it

and he SHOULD answer the phone. why don't you phone her?

I don't want to even hear her voice.

I feel so shit,

i almost feel like leaving DH so i never have to bother with her again!

I've ran out of patience, i just go upstairs if she comes round.

I know that sounds stupid, but ive tried so many times... ive just run out of steam when it comes to her.

so the littlest things grate on me.

I just can't be normal when it comes to her, everything infuriates me

I think I understand. Sometimes I don't know whether I'm right or wrong any more with mine.. the tireless attempts at control are just so maddening and exhausting, but I know I don't get everything right either. It's very hard when one side will not ever ever accept that anything they have done is wrong.

Chin up. And yes I would disappear too if she turns up, as you are frustrated enough to "let yourself down" (as my MIL would undoubtedly put it!) and give her an excuse to feel superior.
