I think its a control/ attention thing. If I didnt reply in good time to my mother she used to go to town in telling me how selfish I was. I even had to reply at work every single day. But then my MIL isn't the slightest bit interested im me so that's the other end of the extremeWow my mum says literally the exact same. She knows the weekends are our family time as that’s when my partner has his days off, she’ll even say I don’t expect you to text me or whatever because she knows it’s our time together. Then I’ve got my mil messaging me every day ‘hi xx’I don’t always have the time to message her back and then she bombards me with messages, messages my partner asking if I’m okay because she hasn’t heard from me. Yesterday she asked what we were up to, I said just heading out to the shops with my mum and all I get back is ‘nice x’ followed by ‘cya Sunday xx’ she makes me feel like I have to feel to guilty about seeing my own family?!
I’d address her by name then refer to her in the thank you part as being a grandma/nan/whatever you want to call herSo some advice is needed!
I'm doing some thank you cards for people for all the gifts for my newborn baby boy. Anyway im going have to do one for the MIL (who suddenly became interested once he was here) she's decided she wants to be called mam mam, or whatever its called. Which basically means mum on French. But I refuse to call her that! So how do I address her in the card? Grandma?just her name? Or do I give in and call her Mam mam? I really don't want to call her that as she was vile throughout my pregnancy and wasn't at all interested,now she's changed her mind and wants to be centre of attention with him. So how shall I address her in the card?
I feel like ‘nanny’ is a nice generic grandparent name?! She couldn’t be upset at that. She might be upset and ‘grandmother’ I’m sure it makes people feel oldSo some advice is needed!

Ugh, please don’t give in to her. We need to stand up for ourselves when it comes to these bitches or they’ll walk all over us haha.So some advice is needed!

DO NOT write mam mam that’s overstepping her place. I’d go with grandma. That’s her role at the end of the day.So some advice is needed!

I wouldn't even bother with a card since she's being so awkward, but if you really feel you have to, then get your husband/partner to write it and put "Mum" or whatever he usually calls her on it.So some advice is needed!

I think unless you are French, requesting to be called Maman randomly is a) weird because they're not the child's Mum.. literally what it means and b) so pretentiousSo some advice is needed!

Love this hun!!!My MIL sends me flowers with passive aggressive messages on them, to let me know I'm the awful person who stole her precious darling son. I bin the note but keep the flowers and share them on my Instagram without addressing that they were from her. She doesn't know how to comment, so I know it pisses her off. I get a bouquet every so oftencan't waste fancy letterbox flowers now can I
Mam mam is literally what a baby says when they are learning to say 'mummy'. Could this be why she's wanting to be called it? So she can say your baby said her name first?So some advice is needed!

Oh man. I would be very tempted to write “grand-mère” (French for grandmother) but accidentally spell it “grand mare”So some advice is needed!

Mine has never sent me flowers! I've been with my husband 11 years during that time I've lost 3 grandparents, 2 babies (nearly dying myself once) got engaged, married, had 2 live babies and not once has she thought to do something as kind as send me some flowers. Sorry I know I sound like a bitch for complaining but I've also made sure that when she lost her dad and father in law that we sent flowers.My MIL sends me flowers with passive aggressive messages on them, to let me know I'm the awful person who stole her precious darling son.

It's "Maman" - Mummy in FrenchUgh, please don’t give in to her. We need to stand up for ourselves when it comes to these bitches or they’ll walk all over us haha.
Ha this happens to us too. Not once has any of my ex’s family come to our home to see the children. In fact when my ex comes to collect them he sits in the car tooting the horn until they go outThis isn’t a huge thing but I’m annoyed
My EX MIL has starting sending my kids birthday cards to my ex husbands house and told her family to do the same. They live with me! I’m their main carer FGS. Silly cow can’t cope with the fact I dumped her (abusive) son
Go out and buy The Most Horrendous outfit with a crotch-chuffing miniskirt, plunging neckline and preferably in Goth Style then let her copy that! Make sure you take loads of photos too LOLShe’s copied my clothes AGAIN.
