I really need to rant. My husband and i have been married for 5 years. Most of time,we will argue abt my mil. Every year without fail,there will always be sth that my husband did that will upset her and she will give us her silent treatment. When tat happen,i will try my best to watsapp or sms her an apology for watever that happen and will advise my husband to apologies even though its not our fault. Starting last year, she started to block me on watsapp when ever this situation arises. Now, this year, she block me n husband again. She wanted to borrow my lo for a birthday party. My husband dont allow coz 1.He dont like my mil borrow my lo as n when she want 2.this party is being held by his cousin whom he doesnt want to around. Knowing that my husband dont allow, she tried asking me, n i told her, i will have to ask hubby and shes not happy. She eventually text me the plan is cancel and i reply ok. After that,she block me n husband. Its been a week nw. Im so upset nw. I dont like this kind of conflict but its been 5yrs like this.

Ignore is the best solution; I was in similar situation like you before but for me is my sister. She will block me when other family members praise my children instead of her or get presents for my kids' birthday (her kids also received presents on their birthday from same relatives). In the beginning, I did the same by explaining or apologies for the sake of harmony in our family, which is a wrong move. People with this kind of mentality will only keep pushing their luck when you give in. Long story short, she blocked me again and being nasty to my children again after someone bought my girl a toy instead of her kid, so I DID the same and never feel more happy than before. Life is so stressful already so don't give those energy sucker any chance to drain you further.
