to be annoyed with my Mum?

[Valpollicella]

Ok, so birthday weekend for me this weekend

But.

No plans due to lack of money/babysitter etc.

My mum asked me what I was upto. I said nothing for the above reasons, but might it be nice to pop in to hers on the day after my birthday. She was all for it.

Today she asked me again what I was doing.

Then she told me that her bloke's mum is having a birthday do at her house on Sunday (her birthday is about 3/4 days after mine) and that she 'has' to go to it, which means that not only do I get to spend my actual birthday without seeing anyone and celebrating it, the one time I could have 'my' day has gone

AIBU to have a slight strop about this?

And before we all flame me

I am aware I am an adult and this shouldn#t bother me Just felt like having a moan

Ask your mum to come round on another day to celebrate.

She may have forgotten? How old is she?

Happy Birthday!

why does she 'have' to go to this party?
why can't she say, sorry im spending the day with my daughter as it is her actual birthday that day?

how old are you btw? :)

Scurry, thats a good idea

Werewolf, nah she's not forgetful To be honest and (AIBU by stealth) she's trying to keep 'them' happy, which is what's annoyed me!)

OTTa, its all politics

Invite some friends round and your mum for a meal or take-away, or ask them all to bring something. Babysitter problem solved. Have a happy birthday.

How old are your DCs? Have a special bday dinner with them perhaps?

val feel yr pain - same here my mum offered to babysit for her other gc on my birthday a few yrs back - so we couldn't do anything.

i get what you mean - nice to do something and see people on the day isn't it?

have a good one nice picnic with dcs maybe

Why can't your Mum come to yours or you go to hers on your birthday? (you said you'd go to hers the day after - why not on the day?) I'm confused and feel like I'm missing something here

I think you are reasonable to have a strop. Surely you come before her bloke's mum.

Mind you, I have a crap mother as well, who decided not to come to a birthday dinner as it clashed with a skittles fixture.
