I've just had my mum on the phone giving me an earful and now Im pissed off.
It's her 60th in a few weeks, she called to invite us to a party 2 weekends after her birthday and we can't go. She thinks we should cancel our plans to go as she is having it on this specific weekend so it fits in with my 2 sisters plans.
I'm annoyed, she called them before booking and made sure it suited them but I'm meant to cancel my plans to fit in around everyone.
Am I being unreasonable to tell her I won't change my plans? Bearing in mind I've asked her 4 times if she is having a party and was told each time that she was not? And that I don't see why she couldn't call me before booking if she managed to call my sisters?

In fact, send your mum an email/text/letter telling her how much she has upset you and hurt your feelings by not trying to include you. How much she has insulted you by thinking your sisters plans are more important. Lay it on thick. Steal her thunder. Do a bit of drama queening of your own.

AKMD and WeShouldOpenABar - tis weird. She is a singleton and thinks this will be her big day. Wonder if she'll give refunds on gift list purchases if she ever gets hitched Wink

Sorry OP. Try not to stew - your mum is trying to suck you into her self-created psychodrama

I'm close to my aunt so the call was to find out what was really going on. She knows my mum is an Arse.

Ah, sounds familiar! Can't live with 'em, can't chuck 'em off the roof.

I hope you enjoy the wedding, you deserve to have a lovely time!
