I just need to vent.

My MIL is a very selfish, manipulative, heartless woman. She and I were very close until she went out of her way to hurt my husband when his father (her ex husband) passed. Long story short she made the whole thing, yes his father’s death, about her - “she’s the only parent left they need to do more for her now,” “you’re never gonna forget seeing your father on his death bed,” “it’ll hurt my feelings if you talk to your step mom anymore,” she sang at his funeral when they hadn’t talked since they divorced, and she was able to sue the step mom and take some of my deceased FIL life insurance money instead of his current wife getting it.

Fast forward to now, we moved 8 hours away before deciding to have kids because of her. So we just had our first son 7 weeks ago. She’s coming down and as are my BILs and their wives. They wanted to stay in a cabin by the water cause it’s beautiful here and I completely understand that. We live by so many different bodies of water too so they have plenty to choose from. So my hubby tells me last night he’s upset with his mom again. This time cause she told him it was more important to her to stay in a cabin with a hot tub than to be closer to us and her grandson. I’m sorry, WHAT. The whole point of this trip here was for them to meet our son. And I’ll be damned if I spend 4 hours in the car a day with a newborn for someone who thinks a hot tub is more important for their trip.

It makes me want to not even take my son to them, but I won’t be that petty.

Ugh, sorry. Just needed to get that off my chest 🙄😡
