Over the years I have tried to have friendly relationship with my SIL but since my son was born I have noticed she has said and done things which leave me feeling crapped on.
One such was this. for my DS' 3rd birthday SIL and family were invited over for tea.
I made a birthday cake for DS.
Imagine my surprise when SIL knocked at door and was holding another birthday cake, completewith lit candles and with her family singing "happy birthday to you".
On the face of it this was a nice thing to do but Ifeltcrapped on, but I could not complain becuase she had been being 'nice'.
I wanted to be the one to present my cake with candles etc but I was left feeling deflated and childish.
I should add that DS has allergies which meant he could not actually eat the cake SIL brought.
This is one of several things she has done which I think are odd but which I don't feel justified in challenging.
The lastest was ringing up DP and pretending to be me when he put DS on the phone to say hello. I came downstairs oblivious and DS said 'Mummy why were you on phone?'
DP said 'oh didn't you realise it was auntie
X?'
I felt really angry and hurt. AIBU and too sensitve.
Or is she behaving oddly?
Anybody else have difficult SILs?
