It’s not about the egg! But AIBU

[TheThreeMiracles]

been with dp for 15 years ( not that that is relevant ) but today his mum has come over and given our dd 2 Easter eggs and our son an egg then she handed dp an egg and said that’s for you and the three miracles to share, ( it was a normal egg ) she knows I’m intolerant to dairy as she’s brought me dairy free chocolate for my birthday several years running and we’ve had conversations about dairy free before as both me and dd are, I’m not bothered about having an egg but it just seems pretty unkind like it’s been done to leave me out deliberately to point out she doesn’t like me that much!
I’ve never been good enough as such but when I’m pregnant she tends to be really off ish with me!
AIBU to feel a little annoyed / upset ? It’s not about having an egg it’s the way it’s been done ! Fwiw we got his mum and her husband both really nice eggs ( they’re favourite ) I wouldn’t have left her out and done that to her

Thank you. I'm 21 weeks today 🥰 good luck with the rest of the pregnancy

Reading your other comments about how she's treated you, this is about more than an egg. People can be so weird about other women being pregnant! I'm not sure how to deal with it and you shouldn't be put in a position where you have to stand up for yourself while pregnant or post partum 😠.

Adults enjoy getting eggs too there’s nothing wrong with that.
Im in my 50’s and my adult kids get me an egg and I still get them one.

Yes, it's thoughtless and unkind. I would either just have bought eggs for the DCs, or made the effort to get something else for OP.

Don't be embarrassed
Her behaviour reflects on her not you

I know, I’m just commenting on that poster saying OP shouldn’t want one as she’s a grown woman. But doesn’t say the same about the husband.

ah wheesht. You don’t have to stop liking or eating Easter eggs when you turn 18 ✋🏻

Sorry she made you feel like that 💐 nasty woman. I hope your husband opens his eyes and starts supporting you in these situations.
Congrats on your pregnancy x

Just don't bother with her in future OP. Let your husband sort out presents etc for her. Be polite but don't expect or give anything else. She sounds awful.

Ah got ya sorry for aiming that to you ☺️

53 and just eaten 1 of mine

Why is liking chocolate age dependant?

Its a really shitty move to bring things for some of the family and leave others out. Whatever the occasion.

Me too 😆😆

Oh stopped buying sons eggs when they set up home and babies started arriving. I have to buy seven different eggs anyway plus a gift for each grandchild these days. My head would explode if I had to choose another six adult eggs 😁

Your MIL is really rude. Your DH should have said something. She made a big thing of handing out eggs to everyone except you. That's really twatty behaviour.

It literally says she did in the OP.

Stop making an effort and don't invite her round. She's really horrible. Your DH is a spineless twat for not telling her how rude she is being.

I honestly don't think Easter is aimed at adults. The eggs/chocolate are just a bit of fun. It's children who get the thrill of eating lots of something they're usually not allowed.
Would you have swapped eggs with adult family if nobody had kids?
Try not to let it bother you.

“Oh nothing for me! That is a bit mean. “
Everytime call it out. She is a nasty woman who knows what she is doing. Don’t shrink from it, call it out calmly.

as theyy say you have a dp problem has he never said anything to her

If she's been so nasty it made you unwell I'd really start reducing contact. It's not going to be a nice environment for the DC if she's being that horrible.
Especially postpartum you don't need to be dealing with someone like that.

Much Ado about nothing. Xx

So you wouldn't have bought one for you son either

See the difference?

If she's been so vile to you in the past, why do you have anything to do with her at all?

And where is her son in all this?

I’m coeliac, knowing how expensive GF items are, maybe she thought after buying three ‘normal’ eggs she maybe thought she didn’t want to have to buy a DF one too (knowing how expensive ‘free from’ food is). It’s a bit sh*t though, she clearly knows. Sounds like she conveniently forgot. Having an allergy / intolerance is crap. I feel your pain - it happens to me all the time.

That’s even worse. OP buys this woman and her husband lovely Easter eggs and they couldn’t buy her one lousy Dairy free egg because they’re too tight?

That would make me more determined never to buy PIL anything again.
