My Mil…..

[Redhelen72]

Has stated unless I get my booster I will not be welcomed into her house again!

Ooooo the temptation!

[jennyjoan]

LOL - oh lucky you. Don't tell her you got it. Boy RH - haven't you been unlucky with mother and mother-in-law.

[naomi24]

Great! If you have the booster don't tell her. A perfect reason to stay away.

[jennyjoan]

then if she moans about you not visiting her - you can get away Scot-free. you haven't got it yet.

[Redhelen72]

Yes but I was lucky with my father JJ!

[Redhelen72]

Lol Naomi she started this last year and asked my husband every week if I was going to have the vaccine!
I was seriously tempted to tell her I was an anti vaxer!

[rowanwitch]

Tell her you haven't had it ( medical reasons). And of course you wouldn't want to place her at risk ... And does the same rule apply to your OH?

[Redhelen72]

Of course not Rowan just her despised DIL!
Last year to keep her safe we rented a cottage close to her so we could visit her, sit in the garden etc and you should have heard the temper tantrum from her because her precious son wasn’t staying with her.

[elliemay1]

Has she any other children?

[Redhelen72]

Yes Ellie another son

[jno]

do but say you didn't

[bednobs]

ha! is it the same for her son, i wonder?

[bednobs]

sorry i started writing that then went away, and i can see you alredy answered :)

[Redhelen72]

Lol of course not bednobs, those boys could do anything and still be welcomed!

[elliemay1]

Does she treat the other son's wife in the same way?

[emmie]

what a thoroughly nasty woman she must be RH.

[Redhelen72]

Oh yes she treats my SIL the same although that has eased as SIL could provide grand children!
Saying that my SIL has seen my MIL for 2 weeks in the last 10 years due to MIL behaviour.
She is stronger than me!

[emmie]

if she wants to see your o/h then let her, can you not stay away?

[Redhelen72]

My husband won’t go without me, and as I had such a fractured relationship with my mother and as some on here will remember had not talked to her for some years when she died suddenly.
I don’t want that for my husband

[emmie]

i can see that, shame that she is so awful...

[AuntPG]

By saying he won't go if you don't is controlling. Just say you aren't going and if he won't go then that's his decision he's a grown man
