Today.... Well yesterday

jrsmama2010

UGH.  So yesterday was DS's birthday and I was all excited bc I was cooking for the 6 of us.  Which meant I could actually fix portions.  Well after it was all done, I almost cried bc I realized that I couldn't enjoy Juniors birthday and the IL's got to play with him while I was in the kitchen.  Then they didn't even offer to clean up and I was getting ready to take the trash out which i do myself anyways otherwise it just sits there... and MIL asked BIL if he didn't mind and he was just like, "we are guest."  Then everyone decided that DS, MIL and FIL were going out shopping so H and I could have some time without DS since we live so far away from family and don't feel like getting a sitter.  So DS had his first birthday and I feel like I missed it all.  It makes me cry.  and H didn't even stop to think hey she needs help bc he was talking with them.

=( sorry about your rough day. Hopefully tomorrow (later today?) will be much better for you. I definitely feel your pain with ILs deciding what's "best" for you and your family. And it sounds like you handled it gracefully. Hugs!

Sorry you had a rough day.  I find that I'm happiest when I speak up and ask for help.  Because, like I can't read their minds as to why they aren't helping, they can't read mine that I need it.  I can't get mad at someone for not doing something that I never asked them to do.  KWIM? 

Next time, you could just leave the mess and enjoy his day!  A mess can wait.

Oh hun, I am sorry.  This happens to me all the time when we have people over.  I get stuck taking care of food etc then I don't get to see people. :-(   I would have a 2nd "1st" bday just the 3 of you and have DH cook. :-)  Hugs to you.
