I could write a book on my mil. The woman is the spawn of Satan. Makes our lives a complete hell. My hubby gets guilted into contact, I have nothing to do with her anymore. Kids have started to drift away too. She wasn't a very good mother. Her other son broke contact with her years ago. He comes to visit and stays with us. Won't even see her.
Even though I don't have contact she still has the ability to make my blood boil over. Shes honna flip out whwn she hears our news....hopefully not until im over 20 weeks lol

Before the move, they were lovely and I kept thinking how lucky i was that I got on well with them.
Then he's moved to the UK and I get it's difficult for them but everything we do is wrong!
I eat a lot of chinese and indian food, his mother threw a fit saying I must be starving him then coz he doesn't like either - 1) he's a big boy so if he doesn't want whatever I'm eating, he knows where the kitchen is and 2) he's eaten every meal I've made and asked if I can make it again so clearly he does like it because he aint the type of person to just be polite about it!
We've just signed a rental agreement for a stunning little house, 1- they say that a 2 double bed house is too small for us. As far as they still know it's me, him and the dog. Even with baby it's a plenty big enough house, has a secure garden and is spitting distance from a gorgeous park. 2- it's a mid terrace which they've now refused to stay in when they visit because they don't want to have to listen to our neighbours all night. It's a friends house we're renting and I've been around multiple times, once when one side were having a moving in party and you couldn't hear a sound - was like living next to church mice! 3- the fact the rental is a private business agreement between a family friend and her boyfriend and us. Mainly the boyfriend as it's his house bt still. It's all being dne above board, contracts written and signed etc. Just saving us the unnecessary fees that we'd all have to pay if we went through an agent. 4- the actual fact we're renting not buying. But yet I don't see them handing over the deposit money...
They've also had a flip out over the new car. We're buying my mum's off her which is a 7 year old 1.4ltr 207 thats only done 35thou miles. She only wants £3grand for it... no brainer really. But apparently the brands wrong, the models shit blah blah blah but again I don't see them offering the money!
Add to it that they've never flown before but were meant to be coming over for the bank holiday. So we said that's great coz everyone's got monday off too! They've pushed it back two weeks but now wont fly without OH so have said either he flys over the day before (thur) then flies back with them fri and has monday off too or they wont come.
He's only just started work 3 weeks ago! We just can't afford for him to take time off!
He's feeling shitty coz he feels like he has to keep them happy when I'm at breaking point and desperately want to tell them to grow a pair. His sister (who still lives over there) offered to fly with them, mainly coz me and her are desperately in need of a trafford centre day haha! but still to help them and they told her it was okay, that they didn't want to put her out!
What about us!
ARGHHHHHH sorry foor the serious rant.

If they don't like flying they could drive and ferry - it's only a few hours!
They sound very strange. Do they know you're pregnant?
Is it predominantly the MIL or both of them? It sounds like she's suddenly realising she's not the most important feature in his life any more and is kicking out against it to me. My MIL did the same when we first got together/were married. She calmed down though - hopefully yours will too.

It's all really annoying behaviour tbh and it's both. We were braced for his sister being awkward but not them!
And no not yet but I've nearly broke and told them a few times just to see if theyd start acting like adults tbh!
