The future MIL
My FI and I are getting married in June. My future MIL is very attached to my FI..he is pretty much the apple of her eye. and the past 3 monthes especially my future MIL has been clingy, calling him to do things for her and her other daughter, once just stopped over without calling us ahead of time and he was in his robe she was in her pajamas. She likes to decorate and when she comes over she walks around our house and makes suggestions about decorating walks around our bedroom like she is inspecting everything. She is also so close to her son when the 3 of us are in the room it's pretty much uncomfortable..almost like she is competing with me for attention. At family dinners she rarely talks to me and is always talking to her son and her daughters. He is also a momma's boy so this doesn't help. I just feel like she doesn't treat me like his wife-to be and that I will never be good enough for her son in her eyes...I'm hoping it will change once we're married but I hear it usually doesnt'..what should I do now to prevent this from continuing??
