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

Well, OP, she has shown clearly who she is - if she had any good intentions, she would have apologized for how you felt even if she did not mean to hurt you and would be rushing to speak to you. The fact she reacted like she did makes it more clear that this was deliberate behaviour.

I seriously wouldn't have thought a grown woman would have wanted one so I wouldn't have either.

You've never met an adult who enjoys Easter eggs?

How extraordinary.

In any event, this woman is aware that some adults like Easter eggs. That's why she bought one for her son.

So I did message his mum and say that actually she makes me feel excluded and not part of my own family ! There’s huge background to this but will take ages to write but examples are - taking photos of us as a family and cutting me out of it, asking if the kids can go and see her without me etc ! Anyhow I explained nicely how she’d made me feel and she literally turned it all around on how sad and hurt she is and how she can’t have this conversation with me and will leave it there ! I haven’t spoken. To her since Wednesday xx

See this as a sign to completely remove her from your life. She is DH’s problem now as she’s proved she doesn’t care about you. Enjoy the freedom from her.
