Birthday Drama

My MIL wants to see her kids on their birthdays because “she gave birth to them.” It is kind of incredible that she can make someone else’s birthday about her!

My husband’s birthday is approaching and she has asked ME several times, “what are the plans?” My husband has told his whole family her really wants to figure it out the day of his birthday and do what he feels like. I’m fine with this…it is his birthday! My MIL will not accept this and has asked us both multiple times. Today she said, “well, just text me when you guys are home and we’ll come over with food.” Like what?! I completely acted like a coward and said, “I don’t know if and when we’ll be home, so I’ll keep you posted.”

I’m annoyed that I can’t stand up to her and just say that my husband doesn’t want to host on his birthday. Keep in mind, we just hosted them for Christmas and he’s a grown man in his 40s!

Just needed to vent because this woman does not respect boundaries!!
