You're so lucky! If she doesn't like you, you don't have to hang out with her. Awesome!
Seriously, count your blessings :)

Sometimes Mothers in laws are a little intimidated by daughter in laws too. Maybe she is not sure what to say and when to say it. Maybe she is dealing with a difficulty too. Why not call her and sound all cheerfull and happy and start the ball rolling with a conversation. After the initial call she may call you back and you might find she is not difficult at all, just cautious. Good luck.

I'm sorry that she's really rude, you know they say "you cant expect to be liked by everyone" (who are "they" anyway?) Just remember when your hubby starts bashing his mom DO-NOT join in, bite your tongue, they'll make up and your bashing will be hanging out there like a dirty dipey. If you really need to know why she didn't call you can say "I'm sorry I missed your call" Best of luck & Congratulations

Turn your head around on this one!
I think you need to be thankful that she isn't popping in unannounced, waking the kid up, interrupting you and the hubby during nookie, inviting herself to dinner, and horning in on all your private business. Even better if she isn't yanking your husband about by the umbilical cord!
You just keep up apprearances... send her a birthday card or whatever at the appropriate time. Send her flowers when she is sick. All that other basic stuff.

It took my mother in law years to get to a point where we could stand each other and even now, I don't always agree with her. Remember, though, she raised the wonderful man you married. She can't be all bad.

Do whatever works for you because trying to please her, get her to acknowledge you, like you or respect you will only make you miserable.
My attitude is, "It is what it is and I alone can't change it."
I have a toxic mother-in-law. She lives about 1200 miles away, which makes it easier for me.
We don't communicate at all anymore and that is fine.
She never cared much about anything other than herself.
