Another MIL vent session...

JLW0504

Okay, so, we all know how MILs can be. Some are lucky and have really great ones, and then there's people like me. We are hosting a birthday party this Saturday at our house since it has teh best "party floor plan". My MIL is "in charge of food and guest list". It's Thursday and I have NO IDEA how many people are coming to my house and have no idea what kind of food will be there. I have been asking her for a week and a half. I am a planner. I know what I'm serving well in advance so that I can make adjustments if need be. I appreciate her wanting to take the brunt of the responsibility since I'm still constantly fatigued, but geez. Stressing me out isn't helping me either. My husband, God love him, is not worried. People will think that WE are hosting this party and I HATE not having enough food/drinks for people... ugh...

 

Sorry to vent, I'm a bit hormonal right now...

I can honestly say I have never been to a party of any kind where there wasn't enough food, usually there is too much.  Try to relax, I'm sure your MIL knows what she's doing.

My MIL is the same way. She likes to be in charge and isn't very good at keeping me in the loop. Gotta love family! lol
