MIL and summer party

PIL and us were invited to the garden party of MIL’s relatives. We were six altogether so wouldn’t fit in a normal car. Instead of taking two cars for the an hour and half drive MIL suggested that I go to spa for the day and the rest go there in one car. Dc were 4 and 6. Little bit odd I thought and said I am not interested in spa so I come to the party. They rent a seven seater but I felt PIL were annoyed.

Why did MIL have to rent a 7 seater. Why couldn't you just go separately to MIL and PIL? And why are you still ruminating about this in October. What did your husband have to say about it all?

I wouldn’t still be worrying about this in October. It’s not a big deal.

So many questions. Why would MIL suggest you go to a spa - that's extremely weird? Why couldn't you use 2 cars? What did your DH say? I assume your MIL hates you?

Interested in this thread?

Yep, so many questions. Why didn't you just take 2 cars? To be fair though, I would have leapt at the chance of avoiding an in law do by going to a spa for the day

Well the whole thing is weird right? Unless neither you nor your DH drive?

Strange people.

Has the party been and gone, and you reflecting on it?

Either mil was being super nice, and giving you a day off, or she’s being super bitchy and didn’t want you at the party.

Instead of taking two cars for the drive they paid to rent a seven seater…. Why?

cgiggy · 05/10/2025 20:50

I don’t know why they had to rent the seven seater. Dh and fil drive and have cars. Really odd the whole thing. Mil doesn’t like me.
