A week ago MIL called and messaged her sons to say she would be driving through town and wanted to stop and see them. Okay, whatever.. she tells DH she wants to sit down with us and have lunch or something. DH just says "uh-huh". She replies, "Don't you think it’s time she (me) drops this?" DH changes the subject and manages to get off the phone without either of them screaming at each other.
Golden BIL told SIL before her DH could tell her, she says “okay but I need to know the dates she is coming because I have my Grandma’s 97th birthday at the end of the month.” We are assuming golden BIL must have relayed this to MIL making it sound like SIL was going to take her grandson and avoid her when she comes. (Golden BIL and MIL feed off each other, gossip, and lie to each other, its f*cked and they both cause issues with everyone else.) We think this because no more than 24hours after MIL said she was coming, we hear she’s not coming anymore.
Golden BIL’s girlfriend (also on MILs bad side and coming around to realizing the bigger picture) told us that MIL had a meltdown, crying and saying she’s not coming anymore because she just can’t handle the DIL’s drama. Again whatever.. who cares. Golden BIL told his girlfriend to message his mom and say something nice and tell her to come.. (LOL) she said no because MIL hasn't apologized to her and she won't keep enabling MIL to treat her poorly.
SIL (who is a saint or a glutton for punishment) messaged MIL yesterday, to be the bigger person, “Hey, I heard you might be stopping through at the end of the month. If you want to come a few days sooner, (Grandsons) daycare fell through on August 28th if you’d like to take him for the day?” She responded that she would be there!
I don’t know how my SIL, knowing what she does, is able to do this.
..So now she’s coming?? so far MIL hasn't told DH her plans to visit.
Obviously SIL will have a backup because MIL has been so bipolar.
None of this affects me directly because I won’t see her at all anyway. Just entertaining to watch the crazy unfold. Can’t wait to see what happens at the end of the month if she ever gets here.
