[quote=Anonymous]Discuss with DH how often you are willing to spend time with them. I think it's important to foster a relationship with grandparents, but it doesn't need to be constant especially if MIL disrespects you in front of the kids. Your DH should take charge and it may help if you always schedule the next visit before you part ways so MIL knows she'll see you again and doesn't need to call all the time. That way of she calls Thursday, you can say 'Hi MIL, you know whe have plans this weekend, but we'll see you Thursday for dinner' and then end the call. Clearly ignoring her calls makes it worse. Not that you have to answer if she calls every day, but a two minute call to let her know you're all ok and looking forward to your next visit will get her off your back and stop fuelling her'everyone hates me' drama. If she says something rude, tell her you don't appreciate being spoken to that way. If she does it again, get up and leave. She'll get the message. [/quote]
