Am prepared to be told I'm wrong but don't think I am (who does in AIBU though? ).
My bf lives some distance from his parents and siblings, so doesn't see them regularly (about x3-4 a year on average). So when we visit his mum likes to get all the family together.
However in every occasion I've been, barring my first visit (when she was obviously under instruction to check me out and report back to my bf's Ex, who she is all pally pally with ), so 3 times now, she comes up with an utter bullshit last minute excuse why she can't make whatever his mum has arranged, be it dinner at theirs, a meal out, picnic etc. Every time.
I get that stuff comes up at last minute. But SIL is quite happily round at my bfs parents, or having them to hers at least once a fortnight, and letting them help her out etc - yet deliberately avoids any occasion when we're there and insults us all by giving a fake reason.
I just think she'd be better to be honest and say she doesn't like me, or whatever her actual problem is. Or, if she's going to lie at least come up with something a bit plausible!
Because how things are now is just an insult to our intelligence and really quite immature. I can see how disappointed his mum is every time she doesn't manage to get us all together and feel sad for her, because surely it wouldn't hurt SIL to just suck it up?
