I just needed somewhere to rant a bit I'm afraid!
My mum is doing my head in. My OH can't do anything to make her happy. She always seems to think the worst of him and takes any opportunity to think badly of him. We are moving from London to Brighton so we have spent quite a bit of time at her house and she does do some nice things - like sending him a good luck card for when he started a new job this monday - but then always seems 'off' with him when I talk about him.
OH and I had a stupid row on tuesday and I ignored her phone call yesterday as I didn't want to tell her about it as I knew it would add to her ammunition, but ended up telling her a bit of it today (and after we had sorted it and he had sent me flowers!). Now I regret even telling her but as she was questioning me as to why I ignored her, I didn't really know what else to say.
She started going on about how awful he was to allow us to row when I am pregnant etc etc. She seems to think both my sister and I are perfect in relationships and our OH's are always wrong. I know she is trying to be supportive but it is really not helpful. I told her I wouldn't tell her about rows in the future if she can't be a bit more neutral. My OH is spanish and does do things which are a little bit 'far out' for the British culture sometimes which I think is great and she has said she thinks is great in the past but I am getting so fed up with the constant battle with her, especially as we are moving to be closer to her and will hopefully have quite a bit to do with her when the baby comes. The whole thing is making everything so difficult and he really tries to with her and all my family.
Any suggestions anyone??? Advice would be most gratefully received!!
I wish I had some solid advice to give. It's hard when your mother doesn't like your OH. 
I'm sorry but I don't have any suggestions either. It must be a really hard situation for you
