[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would start treating their texts like FB posts.  Something you might look at when you're not busy but, otherwise, ignore.  They're showing you who you they are.  Believe them. If they need/want something, let them go through your DH.  I think once you can let go of your (justifiable) anger/frustration/hurt, you'll have more peace of mind.  Don't let this take up any more of your precious energy.

Haven't thought of it this way but this is the way I handle texts like that from my ILs. 
And to commiserate OP, I am very pregnant and a SAHM to a toddler. While my DH was on a work trip recently I seriously injured myself and all outgoing flights were canceled due to weather where my DH was. Despite living 5 minutes away my ILs were zero help- they were 'busy' the entire time but offered for us to come "visit" when my DH was back from his trip. Unbelievable.

You SAH at have one child. What do you need help with?  [/quote]

Maybe you missed the 'seriously injured' part? I think most people could use a hand with a toddler if they are very pregnant + seriously injured. Guess you wouldn't though![/quote]

Do they now? The poster yesterday from the thread that was deleted (who was most likely a sock puppeting troll) who hated her MIL was seriously ill with food poisoning and really resented the fact that her MIL tried to help, if OP was to be believed. Not everyone wants the help even when offered. They are that obstinate and hard to get along with.[/quote]
