Very bitter over Christmas

We have a 9 month old who is amazing and I love him so much. I was super excited about my first Christmas with him!!

Well it kind of went to shit fast. I worked the day before and after Christmas, 13 hours a day, so I was tired after a 13 hour shift.

My SO's mother lied to us and said we HAD to pick her up from her group home for the whole weekend. So of course we would pick her up. She has schizophrenia and depression.

She comes in and my son instantly cried. She was in his personal space/stranger danger. I told her not to take it personally and eventually he was ok.

I asked where her roommates were going for Christmas and she said no where!!! She lied to get out of there even tho we would be spending the whole Christmas afternoon with her regardless. I brushed it off and said ok.

She was rude and hardly talked. She took over the whole apartment and I felt trapped. I was super upset. She never thanked us for doing anything and criticized our food.

At one point I was giving my son a bath and she barged in and sat on the toilet to take a piss. I felt like I had no personal space. I was super uncomfortable. I don't like people in my space.

When we leave to take her home, she calls the group home and I walked in on the convo. She was telling them she'd be back Monday morning instead. I flipped out. I was super tired with everything, cleaning, cooking, over tired baby, and she wanted to stay. I told SO NO!

He told her no and she went home. I'm so upset that my space was invaded and I didn't enjoy any of the holiday with my son. I cried to SO to never do it again. He just said ok.

I am fine going out and about with her but we live in a tiny one bedroom apartment so I can't even go to another room without her being right there.

I'm depressed now, I cried to sleep because I get so excited for things and they never go anywhere. I'm probably just very tired.

On a side note, I did help a friend in need and brought her kids presents. I felt really good about helping her. She was super grateful, my MIL, not so much.
