Dumb Vent

I don't want to go see the ILs and spend the weekend at their house. Ughhhhh. MIL always makes dumb and passive aggressive comments (you had to pick the hospital that's least convenient for me, since she's born in DC will she need a passport to come home to VA). This lady has become a pain in the a$$ and her comments make me want to spend zero time out there. Also, DH just made reservations for brunch for Mothers Day at a nice restaurant. I don't feel like picking up the god damned bill. Every time we eat out with them we pick up the bill. They have money, pay for your meal every once in a while. This Christmas we went to dinner and paid, this would never fly in my family. Let's just eat at home, my DH will even cook...oh no they want to eat out but don't enjoy paying for it.
Ok, vent over. DH and I are going to BBB today to order the stroller. I plan to spend some extra time there just looking around no enjoying to offset this IL visit.
Re: Dumb Vent
Aside from the paying thing, do we have the same MIL? We had done Mother's Day for 2 years at our country club and both times she complained (after hitting up the buffet twice) that it was way too early to eat. This year we aren't and she asks why not. Um, how about letting one of your other adult, married children pay for a meal for once! She is also convinced we are purposely keeping Li away from them even though we told them, whenever you want to see her, call, and if we don't have plans, you are welcome to come over... yeah, happens maybe once a month.
I'm sorry you have to do a whole weekend without alcohol!

can I join the club, please? To the PP, I guess the only bright side of our MILs is that we don't live with them...right? Distance can be sanity-maintaining.
