You poor thing :hugs: :hugs: No you should definately not be expected to go round there.
I'll go out on a limb here, may be an unpopular opinion, but here goes: I personally don't think your bubs should go round there either *ducks for cover* I think your MIL has a RESPONSIBILITY to be a good grandmother, and that includes being nice to her grandson's mother. Your DS has a right to be around nice people who are going to teach him good morals and values - not two-faced, aggressive, horrible people!
Some may see this as "emotional blackmail", but I would not allow her to see her grandson while she continues to treat you like this.
Of course, like I say, this probably won't be a popular opinion, and I understand that a lot of people will disagree with me :) This is just my opinion, repeat, just my opinion :)

i agree with you , if they have been imtimidating and agressive then let them rot in there own mess, its to rough for a 5 yearold to deal with, either they change or just keep contact with them to a minimum. if you did go to dinner i hope it went well for you and your family

ooh Kobbles I just realised I called your DS your "bubs", silly me to assume... should probably check out your siggy hey... but I think it's even more important to keep him away from bad influences then, he's at that age where he will take everything in, especially snide little comments from your MIL. I totally agree with Bronny-Jane.

Thinking of you tonight matey :hugs:

Oh :hugs:
I know exactly how you feel as do many of us on here who have issues with our in-laws !
Im already having heart palpatations as my in-laws are coming over on Sunday ! :(
We have had 8 blissful weeks without them with no stress etc yet it all comes back now & it makes me want to :barf:

Anyways i hope all went ok & that it wasnt too bad !
The best way to look at it as we do is that at least thats either the next month off or for you hopefully the next year LOL !
:hugs:

good on you for standing up for yourself in front of your MIL. :smiliedance: I know it would take everything in me to do what you did. Well done.

I really do think that your Hubby should stick up for you though. I understand it his mother, But you are his WIFE. What would he want you to do if the shoe was on the other foot. I know id want my DH to stick up for me.

Anyway i just wanted to say, well done and keep holding your head up. You know your definatly better than your MIL. dont stoop to her levels

You poor thing! I am really happy that you stuck up for yourslef. I feel for yot totally, but am glad that mine aren't that bad (yet!). Well, wish me luck I am just about to spend 4 days with mine in Adelaide! :barf:
