What should I do?

Well, my MIL wants me to come back before Ramadan…smh! My ticket is only one-way for now. I told hubby I’m not coming before August. I wanna spend Eid with mom since my dad’s gonna be in Pakistan and also I haven’t spent Eid with my family in a long time!

When MIL asked me to come back before Ramadan, I just said “I’ll see” . So, I don’t know what she’s thinking but hubby knows I’m not coming back before Eid…at least!

So when do you leave? I hope you go there and get a good rest. Here are some suggestions:
If your MIL tries to reach you, have it go through you mother first (i.e. have her answer the phone)
Have your conversations with her on speakerphone in the presence of your mom. If mom’s not around, don’t answer.
Spend Eid (and why not Eid-al-Adha) with your mom as well.
Relax. Don’t take any tension from MIL.
No matter what MIL tries, stand your ground.

Well, this will be good for both you and your child.

InshaAllah I get some rest and peace there. I leave this Friday. MIL will not call me, I know that. We barely talk at home so she won’t call at all. She doesn’t talk to my parents either. My mom calls her on special occasions. She’s never called my mom, even when my naano and daadi died, let alone special occasions! But, she’ll keep bothering my husband to call me back and she’ll use many excuses for that. I’m also scared that hubby might give in to her drama and call me back even though we already discussed I’m spending Eid there. Lets see what happens.
