Nightmare MIL

I posted before how my mother in law made my induction and emergency c section all about her. I haven’t forgiven her but was remaining civil. She offered to look after our dog for a few weeks to give us a break. Or at least that’s what I thought.

She had a whole meltdown when my husband told her that we were busy on one of the days she was going to be down and threatened not to come nor speak to us for 6 months. Apparently she only offered to look after the dog if she could spend time with my LO.

I’m absolutely livid this has happened the night before she was meant to arrive. We’ve moved the dog’s daycare to fit in with when MIL was supposedly collecting her. My husband is out at work all day on Wednesday and I can’t look after LO and the dog.

We also had boarding booked for her for the start of May which we cancelled when MIL said she’d look after her. We’re going to now have to try and rebook but can’t cancel again without a charge. I’m also worried if she takes our dog she’ll hold her ransom.

I feel like completely cutting ties but I don’t think my husband wants to.

I guess I partly want to rant but also advice on what to do.
