[quote=Anonymous]Your heart is in the right place OP but this falls into the category of “when someone shows you who they are, believe them”. DH and his mom aren’t super into each other— that’s ok. Unless there is a habit of springing last minute visits to mom on you, which it doesn’t seem is the case, leave him in charge of that relationship until there’s a reason you need to intervene— don’t, for example, leave your child with a badly trained or dangerous dog and if that mean he freaks out and the visit is shorter, so be it. Also, the dog is likely a permanent fixture so if you want to have your MIL travel to you, say so to your DH in a context outside this plan. After this visit say “Jr was really struggling with the dog/a nightmare in the car, so next time we see your mom let’s have her come here.”[/quote]
