I gave MIL a ticket to an X Factor concert as part of her Christmas present as I'd had to endure her and my 7 yr old DS tuning in every Sat during her visits. Explained I had three other tickets too and she would be going with DS and my babysitter and her boyfriend.She seems chuffed.
Later, I check eBay for more tickets as gig is sold out and I suddenly have a pang of sorrow that I won't be there to see DS go mad at his first ever grown up concert.
Well, waddya know. The silly MIL has only gone and put her ticket on there. I go ballistic, bid on it, send her a 'question for seller' email asking her what the hell is going on... She says she will explain and sends me a letter saying she didn't want to go on her own (??) and she was trying to get enough money so we could all go somewhere nice together.
That was about three months ago now and we still haven't spoken, even though I have mailed her and said 'look, I don;t understand why you did it but let's get over it.' Am I being a cow? Should I be making the first move or wait for her cos she's obviously embarrassed to be caught out?
Sorry for the long post. RANT!
