I posted a few days ago about how my MIL called to demand that I take the baby to her house at least twice a month. I didn't say anything at the time but we went back to their house yesterday. Before we left I told her that she wouldn't talk to me like that again. I had thought about a number of options for how the conversation would go, but I never considered that she would deny having said it. She said that she did not demand. She asked me nicely if I could bring him to their house more often and she said please. I nearly lost my mind. I'm pretty sure this woman has never said please to me in five years. She also immediately starting yelling at me and turned instantly to how she's not the rude one, I am. I almost walked out the door mid conversation, and should have, because it didn't get any better. I ended up bringing up how she showed up to the hospital uninvited and unannounced and she claimed that's what her family does when someone needs them. She doesn't have to let me know she's coming, good family just shows up. That's bullshit. It had nothing to do with me needing her. She found out my mom was at the hospital early that morning and as soon as she did, she had to come. So then she went on about how I must just not understand how that kind of family works. I think I mentioned that she never brought us dinner, ran to the store, did the dishes, nothing. Only shows up when not wanted. Clearly my family should learn from her 🙄. She did a great job of playing the victim and the "poor me, I'll just get out of your way because you don't want me around" game. And told me how I am so rude to her because I apparently failed to say good morning to her quickly enough when she was at my house once. So now it's on my husband to deal with her. I can't have a relationship with someone who is going to either lie or rewrite history to make herself look better. If it were anyone else, I'd never see this person again. I know that won't happen here, so I'll be polite but my husband has to be the one to interact with her. I appreciate everyone's support here and am irritated that so many of us have mother in laws that make life more difficult instead of less. I'm taking serious notes, though, for how not to be when my son gets married.
