[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here... saw MIL for the 30 mins that she had for us today and when she brought up the alone time and how much she is looking forward to it, I said that it would be so lovely if my son could join them or me and my son so we could have a nice afternoon together. She then told me that I'm not really family and being married to her son for 5 years doesn't entitle me to that private time and maybe never will. She said to me that it's normal for MiLs and FILs to keep their children's spouses at arms reach because that's all they are, spouses. Really looking forward to spending thanksgiving with her!

You see, this would make me much more grateful that she wants to see your husband alone and that she doesn't spend that much time with my son.  I don't want my son to think that this is normal.

In fact, this would actually make me lean towards sending DH alone to visit with her rather than dragging either myself or my child to visit some bat*sh*t crazy grandmother.  I would probably suggest she gets one of Christmas or Thanksgiving a year (alternating) and DH goes alone for 3-4 days.  Stay home with your son, or come up with other things, like maybe a weekend trip to a place for him (Sesame Place, Dutch Wonderland, etc) while daddy goes to visit crazy grandma.[/quote]

Why would Op want her husband to use his leave visiting his mom.  The woman is rude as hell and emotionally abusive.  If she wants to see her beloved baby boy she can fly her azz out to see HIM for a change.  Let her stay in a hotel and dh can stop by when (if) he has the time after work.

Or at least that's the way it should work.[/quote]
