Granny's gone and done it again

[WPFarmstead]

Alright cluckers. I need a bit of adulting advice.

Back story. Hubs and MiL don't have that great of a relationship. Haven't spoken since right before last thanksgiving. She did text me in the spring cause she wanted help on a garden project - uh sorry, I do work...anyway. When they would talk she'd be demanding and yelling at him if he didn't drop everything to jump at her whims. Based on the way she words things, she seems more concerned about what the other family members think that she doesn't know what her son is up to than what her son is actually up to. I tried with her when I moved down here...tried to smooth things over but she just kept digging herself down. She unfriended me off Facebook and I gave up. I'd rather not have hubs all stressed like he was anyway.

So she sent us a text last week of "oh we should put aside our differences and you should join us for Christmas dinner" hubs responded sorry we'll be moving. (Cause back then we thought we would be moving this weekend.) absolutely nothing from her since he sent that. Not a "where are you moving to", not a you'd be welcome to dine and dash, nothing. Just silence.

He just got a text from the eldest of his two younger half siblings...about how his mom was so upset and crying and we should join for dinner anyway.

Sigh. I don't even know what to say to that. I don't want to point out the moms shortcomings to the daughter and the reasons why we're not coming. I don't want to push my hubs to going if he doesn't want to (which he doesn't). I don't really want to bring that crazy back into our lives.

But on the other hand part of me thinks blah blah she's family, maybe it would give a chance to set down some
Ground rules of engagement, remind her that her son is a grown man and gasp. Does have his own plans and schedules.

Sigh.

I cut my mom out of my life other than for mandatory events several years ago. Life is so much better now. I would leave it up to him. Just support him no matter what.

Oh he already gets the support from me. I know the crazy.

(I've got some gems in my family tree too...)

I just kinda want to shake her and say dang woman. Stop with the guilt trips, stop involving your other kids, grow the eff up.
