To be surprised by this question from MIL? (Lighthearted)

MIL has asked (three times now) if DH will be at the birth of our baby. It annoys DH every time 😂

She is only in her mid 60s so it seems a really unusual thing to keep asking - has anyone ever asked you?

Have you asked her why she thinks he might not be? Or why she keeps asking?

It would annoy me if I’d answered-unless she has dementia?

I don’t think she does, no other signs and according to DH has always asked the same thing multiple times. I think she just doesn’t always listen to the answer the first time. I don’t know why she’d ever assume he wouldn’t be there though!
