Re: Re: MY mad MIL (was Favouritism...)

September 2, 2001

I have alwys had problems with my MIL, but this weekend is the final straw,

she never phoned me once when I was pregnant. She called on Xmas day and

when I answered the phone she just said 'I want to speak to Craig (SS)'. The

week my DS was born she made a fuss, made me cry and ruined the first few

days of his life. She turned up on our doorstep and appologised, saying she

wanted to put it all in the past and be friends.

That was back in February, she visited a month later for half an hour, and I

showed her the pictures of Rohans first month of life...does this sound bad

to you? Well, we have sent photos the last few months and said sorry for not

visiting as she lives 200 miles away, and its too hot to take a baby for a

long car journey. incidently, her husband comes this way once a month to see

his mother, but did point out to me yesterday that they would have to make a

20 mile detour to come and see us!!!! (actually its only 8 miles, but there

you go).

Anyway, she is no longer prepared to know either me or my DH (the only son of

3 that still speaks to her), because....wait for it.....when she came down in

march, she was so hurt that there were no pictures of her in our photo album!

AAAAAAHHHHH

She only visited for 5 mins. According to her husband (stupid fool), she had

a camera on her that day. He thinks we should have asked to take some photos

of her and my DS, then pay for duplicates, then rearrange our album to insert

some pictures of his granny, to make it look more even (as there are lots of

pics of other grand parents, and step-grand parents).

Please tell me I am not in the wrong! Is she just completely self obsessed?

Shes willing to cut all of us out of her life, and to be hionest, DH couldnt

care less anymore!
