My MIL seems to have reverted back to thinking H and his brother are children again despite being 30 and 37. For example last weekend we were chatting about the weekend break we have booked for the PIL for their 60th birthdays, BIL joked that the kids would have to go without food so he could pay his half. MIL is now insisting that she pays his half. She also sends H care packages and he regularly gets a carrier bag full of at least 10 packets of biscuits and we get given loads of crap that we don't want.
So we are going camping next week and husband phones her to see if they had any of their old camping equipment we could borrow, they have long since given it away. I am now dreading this weekend.... I can see her having a guilt trip that she wasn't able to lend us anything and going out and buying us loads of crap!!
I know she means well and her heart is in the right place (and others have MILs that are far worse) but I wish she would stop treating us like children and filling our house with crap!
