Your husband should be sticking up for you with his own mother.

Exactly. Us too, we chose to do things this way because family members are much more willing to forgive and listen to their own family and not so much an in law.
I would cut that woman out until she can learn to be respectful and civil. Slowly distance and set boundaries. Use covid 19 as the excuse for distance.
If you’ve talked to your husband and he won’t stick up for you (for whatever reason), let him know you will be sticking up for yourself in the future. Do it now, set boundaries for her, and be firm. Otherwise she’ll walk all over you the rest of your life.

Ok he has but she still does it
I hate my MIL, I just dislike her completely as a person, but luckily I’m the one fully in charge of the kids so to speak so I get to decide who sees them and when and how often etc.

Uuugh hell no 🤯. Boundaries need to be set...she is off her rocker!, maybe set days/times she can visit the baby and let her know that her opinions about your family are unwanted and you kindly ask her to take a step back. May be hard and I'm sure she will have a fit but who cares! Let her complain to your husband make sure he has your back and she will eventually get over it and follow your requests if she wants to see her grandchild.
Yesss girl
I’d be like, girl bye 😹 no honestly it’s up to you. She not required to see your child especially the times we are currently in. If she doesn’t feel fulfilled as a grandma then that’s her fault.

We live in the middle of town and she can’t ever stop to see her
I told my MIL shes a jealous woman that likes to gossip while twisting everybody's words and if she wanted to talk to me she can talk about my child and nothing else. It's not a great relationship but at least she has a relationship with her granddaughter.

You saying something I be damned if I leave my child with her!!
Oh I don't lol.She lives in another state. She video calls when she wants to see her.
Tell her something and lay it out clear because it will continue if you don’t. She needs to respect you. You aren’t her daughter so if she’s not respecting you I see no reason to show her respect.
Girl, I can relate 😅 just had her come to meet our daughter for the first time and it was literally hell. She now is saying she wants her one day a week when we move back near her and my family! Hmmm how about not!!
That’s always been our approach. Whoever’s parents are pushing buttons is the one who has the chat.
