Thank you everyone for your comments- they've all been very helpful.
When ever we've seen her I've always made it very clear that she is welcome anytime- u know give us a ring just to check that we're in and we'll look forward to you. MIL has always been the interfeering type right from the start to where we're living now!
I think my hubby feels hurt that she makes the effort to see other relatives ( who live further away than us) and makes a point of keeping regular contact from them via the telephone. This is always mentioned in our visits directly to the point of getting photos out etc of where she has been. Last week she rang hubbys moblie whilst we was at work- he later rang her up to see if anything was wrong ( as this seems to be the only time last year and up to now for the two reasons she has called). His mum said she rang the wrong number and thought it was his auntie- he tried to intitate a conversation but she said she had to go! I just don't really understand his family at all!
His dad can pass him in a shopping centre with just a HI and nothing else- think hubby has just accepted this now and does not seem to want to pop over in the last few weeks. I've just been making the calls/texts as I don't want a gap in communication and think I'm worried that she may turn other family members away from us. (In the PAST she has caused a few family rows which have resulted in family members not speaking to others and the others flocking to her) I think hubby finds it hard to understand his family- particularly his mum and she says one thing about a family member(S) and then does another thing! Sorry, rant over, I must get back to work. Its just I dont understand his family at all!!
Thanks once again every one! Take care0
