It was my birthday but MIL needed hubby to do chores for her.

It was my birthday the other day. Hubby and I obviously had plans together. We enjoyed the morning hanging out with friends until hubby gets a call from his mother. She needs him to go to her house to board up her windows. We were expecting some unsettled windy weather but nothing that required boarding windows up. Hubby tried explaining this to her but she’s old and old people worry. No problem, so we went out of our way to find someone else to do it for her.

Hubby calls to let her know that someone will be over to help her with whatever she needed doing. She loses it and says “you’re my son, you’re meant to do this for me”. He reminds her it’s my birthday but she doesn’t care. He hangs up and I think that’s the end of that, nope! Cue hubby trying his best to rearrange our plans so that he can rush right over there. He suggests I go get my hair done which would take a few hours. Why would I get my hair done when we planned to go biking and swimming? Naturally I refuse and I tell him I’m not revolving my day around her or him. He says that I’m being unreasonable….wtf!

So I cancelled all of our plans and spent the day doing my own thing. Yet another birthday ruined. Last birthday he left me at the hotel room to go do something for her. I’ve had it with both of them.
