First AIBU but I really need to know if I am .

Its my Bfs birthday on Tuesday , he has just told me he is going for a meal with his mum & family Tuesday evening so will be busy from 4 - 8 .
I have not been invited despite us been together for 3 years (we don't live together) .
He is working Tuesday morning until 1pm & i have appointments Tuesday from 1-4 (several appointments) .
He says it is not fair that i can't see him on his birthday & expects me to palm my Ds off on my Dm on a school night so i can take him out Hmm I have told him i won't do this as Ds comes first & i told him to ask his mum to make it later or for the day after & he can't as she will be upset (huge case of pfb) .
I thought i was his family but apparently not Confused as he does everything his mum says even if it means cancelling our plans Angry

Am I been unreasonable to think that after 3 years he would see me as his family as well as his mum & sometimes put our relationship first or should I just suck it up

I need the bleach recalling dh jumping into bed with his mum Grin

crazyhamsterdisguisedasahippo · 11/07/2013 01:00

crawling into bed with mummy is something I dont encourage my 7 year old to do

Can I ask why not?

MammaTJ · 11/07/2013 06:23

Really, Bessie?

pigletmania · 11/07/2013 07:26

It was 3 0 clock in the morning, baby ad been howling for some time, he needed to be able to concentrate t wrk and could not without getting some proper sleep. T incident has never been repeated again tank goodness Grin

pigletmania · 11/07/2013 07:27

Just to add baby was really crying and could not be soothed, I think dd had bad colic

Bogeyface · 11/07/2013 08:33

Numberlock because I have never encouraged sleeping outside of their own beds. Even when they are ill, they sleep in their beds and I sleep on their floors. I made the mistake of allowing DD1 into my bed when she was 3/4 ish and then it was hell on toast getting her to sleep on her own, I was ending up going to bed at 7pm!

crazyhamsterdisguisedasahippo · 11/07/2013 08:57

Piglet surely you had a sofa Grin

pigletmania · 11/07/2013 09:29

Yes I don't think he thought of that

sue52 · 11/07/2013 09:53

Imagine years of Sunday lunches with his mother. You have had a lucky escape. There are far better men around than your ex.

crazyhamsterdisguisedasahippo · 11/07/2013 09:55

Sue we don't even like Roast Dinners so that would of been extra fun with controlling inlaws , very lucky escape me thinks

Bogey Fair point, I read it as though you didn't encourage an early morning/last thing at night type cuddle in your bed.

QueenStromba · 11/07/2013 15:47

How can you not like roast dinners? And why the hell would your ex insist on (you) cooking one for his mum every week when you don't like them?

crazyhamsterdisguisedasapanda · 11/07/2013 23:28

I don't like hot food in general tbh Blush

He mentioned once that once he had moved in that his mum would be round every Sunday for Sunday Dinner & I very much doubt they would of been happy with a plate of sandwiches Grin
He also goes to his mums for a Roast every Sunday as well Hmm

Numberlock · 11/07/2013 23:56

Do you've dumped him? Why the post-mortem?

crazyhamsterdisguisedasapanda · 11/07/2013 23:57

Eh
