To LAUGH hysterically at my MIL on the phone

I'm 38 weeks PG

Was my birthday earlier in week. PIL have been away. (normally live locally) we have an odd relationship. All very polite & formal -

Any way yesterday when I got back from a friends house there was a bag on my windowsill (window was ajar - id left it like this)

In the bag was a home made cake it was bloody delicious a card addresses to me, two presents wrapped up in matching paper with a card stuck to them from SIL (lovely well thought of presents too) a small paper gift bag sellotaped up with my name on it and something wrapped in bubble wrap.

Last night I ate cake and this morning I opened the presents. Bless them I thought.

I've just phone MIL to thank her for her lovely cake, ask about their trip away etc etc and say thank you for the stunning presents (especially the one wrapped in bubble wrap)

She says

"oh glad you like it, it's FOR YOUR SISTER"

Basically one of her other daughters (not SIL who sent the lovely presents, another daughter) had sent some
Thing with MIL for me to give to my sister (it's a craft based thing that she does, my sister had bought from
Her)

Well. Now I'm sad. It's lovely. I really love it. I have others that I had bought in the past. I had unwrapped this one thinkin it was from other SIL and put it on my shelf with the others. It's STUNNING.

Mil has asked me to pass it on to my sister.

Why did she put it in the bag with my present? Or am I being u?

I'm just sad now. I laughed down the phone to MIL to hide my hormonal sadness

OK I get it, sorry your Sis had paid for the glass.
I'd get SIL to make another for your sis and you can pay for it.
That is so disappointing to think they all sent you stuff and thought about you only to find out that it wasn't yours, especially seeing you really liked it.
