[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She has a good point and you are not very kind to her.  Just be honest, you don't want her in your life or seeing the kids and no more contact.[/quote]

Honestly, yes. This is the reality. "Boy" moms typically don't have the same access, which can be hard. I'm sure I'd be jealous and while I'd be sure to only complain to spouse, friends, or therapist (and not DS and spouse), it still would hurt. A little compassion extended may help mend things.

Would you also make excuses for why you can’t visit things you’re invited to, or show up late? What else am I supposed to do? Honestly? Most of the time I invite her, it’s ME inviting her, not my husband. Most of the time, he’s not even home. I’m doing all of the work and still getting all of the blame. It’s unfair. [/quote]

It's hard to imagine that you have time for your own mom given how much whining you do.

Do you truly think you invite your MIL and your mom to the same amount of things? If so, then complain away. If not, then you're showing bias, which she's commenting on. If that's what you want to do, you deal with the fallout from it, I'm not sure what else to say to you. Either invite her and she doesn't show up (does that matter? does it impact your plans?) or admit that you don't want to invite her. [/quote]
