Hey , I'm so sorry you r going thru this. Not seeing you on mother's day bc mother in law more important. Nonsense . Sounds like the gf is a chip off old block of mom. Sounds like sons gf is a well....brat. idk best advice other than talk to your soon about how you'd like to be with him more , or make plans to take walks, lunches , etc things that don't break the bank. Invite son and gf or if gf doesn't come just son. Start to do all you can to make effort to be with son away from this so he can make sure it's what he wants . You are his mother , you deserve to be held high

Re: Tell her. Tell her now. She needs to know ASAP.
The bolded describes my MIL to a T. She is equally wonderful and helpful and also drives me up a gd wall. When we were debating the move to chicagoland and especially house hunting once we got here - my rule for H was basically that I will look anywhere as long as we're at least 45 minutes away from them. They are absolutely the type to just drop by, or would expect to have dinner together multiple nights a week. again, that's fine if everyone is on board. But if we ever weren't, they are also the type to get really butt-hurt about it and then be passive aggressively absent for awhile.
My parents could live next door and we'd still probably see them once a month, lol.
