Hey Ladies,
This might not be the place to post this and if it's not, I'll remove my post. I got married last year to my DH. We've been together a total of 8 years so it wasn't exactly a new or quick relationship before we got married.
Before we got engaged, I had an amazing relationship with my MIL. However, once we got engaged 3 years ago, it's like a switch flipped inside my MIL and she's been so difficult to deal with. She's always making snarky comments too. For example, when I asked her to get her nails done with me she said no because she thinks we bonded enough! My DH started to notice the comments and odd behavior and confronted his mom on his own (without me saying anything and without me there). My MIL played dumb and hasn't changed. She also told my DH that she thinks that I'm stealing her baby. But little does she know that the only reason why my DH calls her every week is because I remind him to call her and I'm the one that pushes him to visit her so I don't see how I'm stealing him. I encourage him to have a relationship with her.
It's to the point where I just let my DH do all of the communication with his mom. When we visit them, I am cordial and polite but have my guard up.
We received a Valentine's Day card in the mail from her and the front of the card says "It's wonderful to have a son and "daughter" just like you, because your both so thoughtful, and you're fun to be with too,". Am I reading too much into the quotation marks around daughter or is that typical on son and DIL cards?
