[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one will take your place, OP.  You have a relationship with your MIL that is unique and special.  But your MIL sounds like she is afraid of you.  Afraid of your negative reaction to a friendship with your new SIL.  Because that's what she is.  She's not a "young lady" who married the youngest son.  She's a family member.  And you sound a bit competitive and insecure.  MIL knows how to juggle her relationships (she has 3 sons); you don't.  If she doesn't want to reveal to you that she spent time with her new DIL, consider why.  Perhaps she feels you might get upset.

I would suggest some outings for ALL of you.  Your life has changed.

Op here, Interesting enough I have suggested this in the past. These outings actually never came to fruition. I am not concerned with someone taking my place. I have my own mum and feel that there is room in MIL's heart for all of us. I don't expect her to give me play by play of every interaction that she has with them. That would be crazy. But I do expect honesty and think it's weird that after I talk to you on the phone. I find out that you aren't actually going to xyz place as you mentioned but that you have a spa day with SIL or potential SIL. I'm surprised that I'm the only one that finds this weird. I'm also surprised that I'm being labeled the problem. [/quote]
