[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

This. OP sounds like a nightmare DIL who has popped out two kids and now wants to use that for her powerplay.  [/quote]

Hopefully they are boys. [/quote]

Not all men are like this. My husband’s mom raised him right and he had always made sure his mom spends plenty of time with our kids. He’s the one that invites her to ball games, dance recitals, birthday parties, school concerts etc. Men need to step up here because wives aren’t putting up with this anymore bc we’ve got other stuff to do.

This. Stop with the “boy mom” excuses. My MIL is a “boy mom” to three wonderful adult men. She and FIL are very involved in the grandkids’ lives, as are their maternal grandparents. They are more in the day-to-day of our nephews’ lives because they’re 30 min away and we’re 5 hours away, but they have close relationships with their sons and grandkids. [/quote]

This, remember if you have a son, you are setting the example of how you should be treated later on.  My MIL wasn't the best mom, she had my husband very young and did the best she could.  I established a relationship independently, and she was very loving and kind to me.   I did my best to include her in everything (till she no longer could and then I took care of her).  I don't understand how you can marry someone and reject their family.[/quote]

This. It shouldn't be all on your husband. They are your family now too. [/quote]
