"Have her to call me so she doesn't forget who I am" 🙄
Me and my MIL have never been close, and she kind of gave off jealous vibes. We've been together since we were 18/19, so he was still living at home and got a very well paying job around 21. Every time he got me something nice or took me on vacation, she asked for something crazy. He's paid for her bathroom remodeling, invested in her business, and gave her big amounts of money towards her vacations. When I got pregnant when we were 25, her reaction was, "well if that's what yall want, then congratulations." We wouldn't have announced it, especially the way we did, if we didn't want our baby, and she was planned. From that day, he stopped talking to her for a couple months, and she was just really weird towards me. A few months ago, we eloped and she was not happy. Why? We still don't really know, but I'm assuming bc we eloped and didn't tell anyone til after our vacation and we were settled. But when he finally talked to her, she ended the call with, "if you don't want me in your life, you could have just said that. I'll stop trying." Mind you, she's never actually tried. They talked once, maybe twice a month, only when he called her. That was the last time they spoke.
Fast forward to today, 3 months later, she text him and said, "it would be nice if let her call me some times so she doesn't forget who I am..." SHE IS TWO!! Just turned two, not even a month ago, and it's her job to call you??? Be so fr right now! The same baby whose birthday party you didn't come to, but was at her cousin's party the week before?? The same baby who barely knows you now because you've only ever seen her maybe once a month when we visited you and never call to check on? The same baby who the last time you bought anything for was her baby shower??? You want this baby to call you she doesn't forget you? She already forgot you bc you haven't spoken to her since August and you aren't even the one who made the phone call. And to make things worse, she lives 15 minutes away and works 5 minutes away from us 🙃
Bruh… like you said, your child is 2 NOT their responsibility. If the grandparents wanted to be in the child’s life they would. Full stop. Let the fake bitch fade out, your kid (nor you) needs the inconsistency or stress.
