Recently, our 2 youngest children B & G share with me that their grandma (my husband ex-mother-in-law) has been talking bad behind me and my older boy A. She tells them not to trust us. She even says I'm bad, I'm not their mum and their mum is dead. I feel the pain she had for her daughter's death as my 2 kids had shared with me their mum's death and how their grandma had cried. I feel really sorry for her therefore had never hold grudge against her even though she accused my older boy of stealing from B & G. I see she loves her grandchildren so much that she's only trying to protect them. She calls everyday to check our 2 kids, visit whenever she likes, and our door always open for her, I've always welcome her. I feel it's our children blessing they are love by their grandma and aunties. They treated our 2 kids like their own, buy gifts and gave money to them very often whenever they meet which I didn't think is necessarily good for them. I worry they'll spoil them, our children said their grandma tells them that they must always bring more money with them to school at all time. I noticed our children behave differently whenever they visit grandma, they come home angry and hot-tempered, often they are irritated and rude to grandma. To date, our children told me they treated her this way because she never say nice things about me and A.
Grandma acts nice in front of me and I never thought she would talk behind me like this. My husband warned me before, he said they wanted to take his kids away from him and he want no contact with them. I thought it was a misunderstanding and asked him to move on and reconcile with her as she is still our kids' grandma. I am so naïve. I'm very hurt and angry at what she does. I really do not know what to do with her. I cant' stop her from seeing our children cause this will not please them. I address her Grandma too but I feel to stop addressing her grandma now but Mrs xxx, I also feel to tell her straight on her face that she is mean and what she does is not only bad for our new family (about 2 years marriage) but also our children, bringing resentful & rebellious kids. Obviously, also breaking the bond between us. My husband is upset too. Please advise.
