I was really looking forward to Mother’s Day, and now my MiL has just pissed me off.
A few months ago we asked her to join us today for a nice day out. A nice place to visit, with lunch. She said no as she’s spending it with her other DC. At this point you’d expect her to say, do you want to join us, or we can all do it together, but no. She’s just spending it with her other DC.
So, DH sent her a card and called her first thing. She told us she’s very upset we didn’t send her any flowers or a present. It’s very hurtful.
I am fuming. DH said nothing, but later said the comment didn’t go unnoticed.
I know it shouldn’t have, but it turned me from being happy, to just really pissed off again with my MIL and her attitude.
On what planet does a person decline a nice invitation, then complain that you didn’t get a present? If she’d joined us, or included us in what she was doing, she would’ve got flowers/chocolates/ whatever in person. Instead she got a card because she basically told my DH that he’s less important to her.
TBH, she doesn’t even deserve a card.
AIBU?
