I am currently staying with my parents while I recover from surgery.

My husband visits for a few days. Today he came to spend the weekend. My mom just smiled at him as he entered, maybe said a Hi and continued to look at her phone.
When my husband went to the other room, I told her in private that she has to be more warm towards him and treat him with the regard a son in law deserves.
She was shocked, and asked mw where all this is coming from.
I told hwr I do not appreciate her questions she keeps asking me about him when he is not there. Whether he keeps me happy, why he removed his profile picture, why he wears the aame shirts when he has new t shirts, why he isnt looking for a better job...
I told her to just accept him as he is and be nice to him. Because he is a good person.
She said, "ofcourse I know that."
I told her, "if that is so,then show him some warmth too."
She was stunned. She has already heen saying that I am being distant.
Surely later she will tell this to my father. And how I am so entitled and I have changed.
I will stick up for my husband come what may

Sounds like she is doing all she can to help you and doesnt know why thats not good enough. She said Hi. She wasnt rude. She is likely very tired . Nothing more discouraging than being told your not trying hard enough when you are doing whT you can.

Mum / in law toxic relationship. But it doesn't sound like u been through Mum / daughter toxic relationship? That is one big toxicity to get out of, lingers into adulthood can even be there for life unless u get therapy involved.
