Im going to snap - a little MIL vent inside
I've told you all how much I despise my mother in law.
When Avery was born, I allowed my MIL, and DH's sisters to come up to see her at the hospital. *Hell no will they be coming to my home to see her, it was neutral grounds. I told them to NOT bring the younger kids - besides, Methodist doesnt allow kids under 14 to visit on the ward. Yeah, they snuck in DH's 5 year old nephew and 8 yr old niece. Ooh, was I pissed. I was concerned with germs, but they just did what I told them not to. Anyway, it was a phony visit - we all hate each other, but played nice that day.
Since then? My MIL texts me seventy-trillion times a day EVERY Day. She's "talking" to Avery. Example: "What are you doing now Avery? Are you sleeping? Love you. Grams". "Avery, are you eating?" I ignore her. Then she texts me "Hi Alisha, I love you" LOL. CRAZYCAKES!!
And its not like she's a great Grandmother to the rest of the kids, she's trash..I think the newness of my baby is what has her interested...
Im sorry. There's been some HUGE drama btwn me and MIL and his sisters. *To the point, his sister threatened to fist fight me (Id pay her good money for that one) - no apologies were made, no acknowledgements and now they think everything is fine and dandy? I think not.
They are toxic and I want nothing to do with them, I think Im feeling panicked because I feel stuck with them.
DH is not looking for a relationship with them, but hasnt spoken to me about any of it. Secretly, I think he hopes we mend everything.
Not going to happen.
Maybe if Im lucky, she'll be out for a walk and fall into a sinkhole. LOL
...here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
I carry your heart(I carry it in my heart)
Re: Im going to snap - a little MIL vent inside
I agree with blocking her number..or have your DH tell her to stop because you "pay per text?"
I can totally empathize, my IL are similar to yours. hang in there!
PS- I love the name Avery!
Okay, didnt know you could block a number from a cell!! Oh, thats an awesome idea! Thanks.
