Hello, first post here....
So, I received an email from my MIL last night. They are going on holiday, and in the email, she asked me to pop in to their house to pick up a card and pressie for our DD, who has a birthday while they are away.
Also in the email, MIL tells me that her other DIL is going to her house to do some bits and pieces, and "maybe you could arrange to meet with her? Other DIL is doing this on MOnday, that on Tuesday, so perhaps wed or thurs. Also, Son and DIL have been asking about DD birthday. I have told them that you are doing something as a family (just the 3 of us) on DD birthday, so maybe you can arrange another time to see them".
AIBU to feel that perhaps MIL should butt out, and if SIL and BIL want to see us, they should arrange it? I feel a bit like we have been spoken about, and I'm pissed off that she feels it's appropriate to ask me to arrange things.
I spoke to partner about the email last night, and said I was pretty pissed off. He is someone who won't say a bad word against his family, but he mumbled in agreement with me, and said just ignore it.
I have arranged for BIL and SIL to visit on Sunday morning, but I just wonder whether I should just ignore the email, or to raise my annoyance with MIL.
Background info - whilst SIL and I get on, we are very different and don't spend a lot of time together outwith family meals (weekly) and family get-togethers. I find her exceptionally hard work, and have such little free time as it is.I have had a year off work for Maternity leave, and return next week, therefore this being my last week off, I am already very busy.
Ok, there it is. First AIBU post. hit me with it!
