I agree with @BettyCrocker - if the MIL isn’t someone you would necessarily want to spend your time with, then be careful what you wish for!
My MIL won’t even acknowledge my existence....if she visits and I’m not there she doesn’t ask where I am, in fact she never mentions me to my OH at all...it’s very strange! If I see her she asks me how I am and then doesn’t speak to me again, even if I’m in her company for hours....she goes out of her way to exclude me from conversations. Hugs all other family members, but just looks at me awkwardly. But she’s absolutely not my cup of tea, so I don’t let myself worry about it. I’m polite and pleasant enough to her when I’m forced to be in her company (special occasions etc) but at the end of the day her behaviour is the reason we always get to go to my family for Christmas, so actually....I’m the winner!
