MIL visit! Advice ladies!
Hello ladies!
Just want your advice! I have a well meaning MIL who does drive me and hubby insane. She can often say things that are quite unkind and is generally a nightmare. Anyway, hubby hasn't seen her for a months and we both think that at some point soon she'll be on about invitng herself to stay. I really can't face the thought of her coming as if hubby isn't working at weekends we are doing the last few things for baby and I have my class's reports to write etc etc. If she comes you have to entertain her (and resist the urge to throttle her at times). Hubby thinks we should invite her for the day in the next few weeks to get it over with before I get any bigger and more fed up. But she really winds me up and I have actaully avoided answering the phone to her for weeks now(made hubby answer!) since she sent me a really annoying/unkind text about baby.
But then it is hubby's birthday at the start of July and baby is due a few days after that and I suspect she is plotting to say she will come for hubby's birthday in the hope the baby will arrive while she is here (she is quite calculating like that). Hubby isn't that bothered about seeing her, but he wants to get in first as it were, otherwise she catches us off guard and will try and stay over night! I don't fancy the 3 hour drive to hers as I just am not comfy in the car anymore so that's not really an option. So, should I bite the bullet and let hubby invite her for the day now or put it off until after baby is here?
Gosh, didn't reallise how much I'd gone on!

Spedshaw - I was thinking the same thing put it off till baby is here but hubby doesn't want her visiting the second baby is born and he thinks if she hasn't seen us for a while she will insist on coming the same day I get home. I understand why he wants to get it over with now so to speak but the thought of it really makes me shudder! Hubby is dreading her visit too and its his own mother!
Hubby is on his way home from work now, so I think we may look at the calendar and work out when is best for us. Why can't I have a nice, non interfering, non insulting MIL! Oh well, could be worse, hubby's Dad and wife number 3 could want to visit!
