MIL is being really pushy. Am I not getting my point across or just she just not understand what no means? Also anything else you would say?

Story at the end of all the messages.

Back story I’ve never had real issues with her, we ALWAYS go to her for thanksgiving and Xmas <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android.eve">eve</a>. I’m due January 6th and my kids tend to come early. (Different pregnancy could be different I know) in between me texting her politely she has been griping and bitching to my husband about how I’m “keeping” her grandchildren from seeing her. Which of course as you can see I’m not. My husband hasn’t responded back because he respects my decisions and knows I can handle it. Am I being reasonable enough and getting my point across? Or is she just being extremely pushy and not respecting what I’m saying??

***i just want to add I respect each and every one of your opinions on this topic, we all are different and handle things differently. My husband has already messaged his mom saying she is being too pushy and isn’t respecting what WE are asking her. He asked if she wants to see the boys she is more the able to come over to our house for a couple hours to see them, if it means that much to her. If she doesn’t choose to come then that is HER making the choice not to see them. The great grandparents are already planning on coming over for a couple hours to give loves and see their great grandkids. He knows his mother has always been this way, so he told me if it’s that important to her she will drop her pride and come see them. ❤️ I wish everyone and their family’s a very happy holidays, whether you choose to stay home or go to your family’s houses. Just enjoy the holidays with your family and make great memories 🎄🎄

Just figured I’d add some humor to this, because I can... lol

This would probably be me angry and uncomfortable and pregnant going somewhere I don’t want to go lmao 😂 😂

Hope you all get a laugh.

*** update ***

My husband called her and had her on speaker phone so I could hear (I didn’t say anything) I let him control the conversation. Him and I decided if she wanted an early Xmas get together we were free on the 8th of December, we could come over with the kids and maybe the boys could have fun with them and decorate their Christmas tree. Something entertaining for them. Watch a Christmas movie or decorate cookies. Anything fun, then they could do gifts if they want. She laughed at him and said “do you not remember what I suggested I wanted to do? I want them on that day or not at all.” He was absolutely shocked, we also tried for maybe after the baby is born and is a couple weeks old. We could come and do a late Xmas get together. Then she can see the baby and have quality time with all. Again she laughed and said no. It was quite disappointing, she doesn’t want to come over for a little bit and see them, but she isn’t willing to have ANY wiggle room for the beginning of the month or after the new year. It literally has to be what she said or it’s nothing. She said if we can’t do what she wants then it will probably be a very long time before we see or hear from her. 😑 soooo that’s that! We tried, I don’t want to do it at the end of the year, but we both talked and tried to make it work. Unfortunately she’s not willing 😒
