I know, another MIL rant, but I need to get this off my chest, the woman makes my blood boil! I'll start with whats annoyed me today then give a bit of background on her if you care to read so you know she is just a horrible person.

Basically it's my oldest daughters birthday this month (the child she longed for me to abort) and she wants a few Xbox games, so we told her which game she wants if she cares to buy her anything this year (some years she doesn't bother) so she just sent the money for the game over PayPal. I am fuming, she never makes an effort, she doesn't want to get off her arse and come visit her granddaughter or go out her way to buy her something yet she's always out home shopping or eating, so she's just sent the money to us to sort out instead! It's the same shit all the time, she just sends us money for them, like how is that special for them? Where are the family values?! I know it sounds pretty but it's all the damn time, we ways go to her and even then she just acts like our kids aren't there.

A bit of a background on her so you know what a horrible, selfish woman she is.. when my husband and I first found out I was pregnant in 2011 he was still living at home with her (but when I took the test we was actually house and dog sitting for my sister for 2 weeks) I told her myself that I was pregnant and she made my life hell, she fetched my now husband from my sister's house so he couldn't stay with me, took his car keys off him and took his phone away so he couldn't speak or come to me, she told me I'll only see her son again if I have an abortion, kept saying I did it to trap him, dragged my family into it to try and make me have an abortion, then we had "family meetings" to convince us to have an abortion where she got all my family and her family together, they would tell me how my husband would leave me and he wouldn't be able to cope, I ended up agreeing to an abortion just to get them to leave me alone and so I could see my partner! (Obviously didn't go ahead with it) I told my partner when he got his keys back for his car that I'm having the baby, and he can either be with me or not I am not aborting our baby, so he moved in with me, then the fake messages started coming saying from a "friend" (it was her, she can't spell and she called herself a name only she calls herself) "it's not even your baby, she's just trapping you, she's ugly, she's slept with all the lads on the rugby team, she's got sti's you need to get checked, you need a DNA test" well fast forward over a year of no contact and we've slowly tried building a relationship with her. My husband and I got married in 2014, now have 4 children together, she didn't come to the wedding.

She's never been bothered about our children, she won't come to see them, won't drop birthday presents off or Christmas presents, doesn't ring them, doesn't ask about them, but she's quick to post on her Facebook on their birthdays saying how much she loves them 🙄 (something she moaned at my father in law for doing when she stopped contact him from having contact with my husband and his brother) honestly I'm ready to cut ties with her, I'm sick of her fake bullshit "best grandma of the year even though I never bother seeing them"

The only reason I can't is for my brother in law, I love him to pieces and we are so close when we get to visit, he has a rare chromosome disorder and he adores me and I adore him! I promised to take him to see a band 8 years ago who then split up but are doing a reunion tour this year so I've got tickets for us and my husband to go! I don't want to lose out on taking him and having a relationship with him because of her. She never gives him the time or attention he deserves/needs, he's sat Infront of his laptop or watching tv, which is why I think he gets on with me so much because I actually give him the time he wants.

I just can't cope with her constantly not caring about her grandchildren, just in their birthdays atleast but no, even that's to much to ask for! Even just a phone call would beat presents and a card but no too much effort. I hate the woman
