| I don't blame you one bit for being angry. If what you describe was an isolated event, I'd probably chalk it up to silliness or a misunderstanding. However based on the history and probably many more incidents that I am sure you did not delve into here, I feel mom's nasty attitude has rubbed off on the daughter and in all probability did occur the way your daughter described.
Were it me, I would keep as much distance as possible. When the occasion arises where we were forced to be in the same room, I would be curt and short. I would NOT call SIL up; I feel your MIL should have handled the supervision at the time and since the daughter was being mean it was her call and responsibility to handle the situation. Because your MIL did not, I think I would make sure she were not watching my child and SIL's children at the same time. I also question why your MIL lets these people run roughshod over her the way she is. This surely can't be good for her current health!
Anyway good luck. I feel for you on this. |
