to be cross with MIL.

[devon0000]

Please be gentle. Pregnant and hormonal.
For the last 2 years we have been trying to locate dd's 1st passport. I had an idea MIL had it as she was going to open an account for her. She was adamant she did not. Somany days have been spent going throuh every file in the study trying to locate it.
This morning she casually rings to confess that she had it all along. Grr.
Was also a bit cross with her yesterday. We always take her out for Mother's Day. Whilst there dh recalls how he spent £150 on some stuff for himself She didn't bat an eyelid. However, when I joked that as we didn't have time for the shops for dc to buy Mother's Day gift I joked I would have an IOU along with my Valentines Day one. Her response was now you got a baby coming you can forget about that. Thanks for that.
Appreciate its probably trivial compared to other MIL AIBU but guess I am missing my mum too.

Obviously I would never say anything to her. I, of course told her not to worry about passport and let other comment go.

Have you replaced the passport (ie has MIL cost you £X in having the passport all along?)

If you're missing your own mum then I think whilst excusable, YAB a little U.

And if your DH has time to spend £150 on himself, he has time to aid your DC in purchasing a little something for you for Mothers Day, never mind a bloody IOU. Be cross with him, not MIL

I am cross with him too. The reason why we didn't go shopping on the day was because he didn't want to drag round shops. Would have probably got something if dc knew what to get.
I am going shopping tomorrow so I will just sort it out myself.
Fortunately, we haven't replaced it. Probably just emotional because I was actually quite upset when Passport when missing because we had it done when she was a baby so it is pretty special. Hard on her too when we have ds's but not hers.

It's DH you should be annoyed with. Why didn't he get you a gift, and stick up for you with his mother?
