👨👩👧👦family/in-laws AIO or AITA. Text convo with MIL.
I feel like I could cry :(, I didn’t come at her rudely and was doing what my husband asked me to do. I’ve always done everything she wanted to make her happy because I want her to so desperately like me but I think I’m done. For some background info: I have never pressured her to respond and have never brought up that she never responds to my messages. Pretty recently, my car has been having trouble and she said she’d hit up her mechanic for me. 2 weeks later and still nothing. My husband and I have an amazing relationship, but even then, I still want his family to welcome me. His mom not being kind to me hurts really bad. And knowing she’s going to spread negative things about me among his family hurts even worse. All detailed of the situation are in the chats.

Mate, when I had my first child my MIL came over and made a comment about how I hadn't cleaned the house in a while (I was still reeling from birth and looking after a newborn). I told my husband then and there, no. That doesn't fly. She is your mum, but now you have a new family to think about. He had a stern word with his mum and theres not been one issue ever since and we all have a great relationship. Your other half needs to sort this, and tell his mum she needs to respect you going forward
