My MiL has been giving me grief over the same crap for years. I'm just so fed up. Most of the time she won't even say it to my face.
Last week I was running on no sleep. DS(4 months) and DD(4 years) were having one of those days where they took turns crying and it was nonstop. DH was suppose to get off at 3 PM and didn't get off until nearly 6 PM. His mom called me because he wasn't answering his phone. She asked me if he'd be home by 7:30 and I said god I hope so. Her response was well it doesn't matter because he's going with me tonight to do stuff so he won't be with you. Really lady? It was one of those days where I was in tears.
Tonight dh was with her doing some stuff. He got home and said they had sat in the car and argued for an hour. So they wasted a quarter tank of gas in my car no less doing that and doing errands. Part of the argument was concerning me like usual. She said that I must not love him because I let him get overweight. He's a grown man. I can't control what he eats at work and I have suggested he eat smaller portions. I've tried to get him to go walking with me. Then she started on about how if he dies, it'll be my fault. I swear she's crazy and if something did happen to dh, she'd try to sue me for it. Another thing was how dare I not love my skids the same way I love my children. I'm sorry. I don't love them the same. I carried and gave birth to my kids. They're my world. My skids have been the biggest challenge I've faced. I know step-parents that don't love their skids as much as their kids and that it's nothing to be ashamed of. I've tried to love them the same but I can't. I do feel bad for that. Another is that I shouldn't harp on dh's ex wife. I honestly don't really do that. I do laugh at her stupidity though. That's probably wrong on my part. MiL is a second wife to and I know for a fact that she didn't love her skids the same as her kids. Hell she loves my BiL more than Dh.
Sorry I just had to vent
