Hey all, I need advice...
So, to try to make it brief - my MIL hates me, but pretends to be civil to my face. She has always opposed my being part of the family and was very not excited when we announced our pregnancy. My husband says it is my choice if I want to invite her to the shower or not - he thinks it will be like an olive branch if I do -- however, I have tried with her multiple times over the past 5+ years of my marriage to create any sort of civil relationship and she avoids me like the plague unless my husband is right there watching - then she is super friendly (he knows she is faking it and being tryin to manipulate situations).
I feel obligated to invite her - but frankly I am so uncomfortable around her that I would rather not.
Please help... What would y'all do?
Thank you!
