MIL vent

in August 2011 Moms

We decided that instead of running back and forth between families this year that it would be that much easier to just have both sets of parents over for dinner for Christmas and a few other relatives. DH just reported to me today that his mother is mad at us for inviting my parents, that if she had known they were coming they wouldn't have agreed to come. This is Christmas. Are you fricking kidding me? The nerve of me for inviting my parents over to our house on Christmas. These are the same people go out to lunch with my parents and are (what I thought) were friends with them. Is she saying that had she known she would have said they weren't coming? On Christmas? I will never figure this woman out.

    That sounds really strange, since they are friendly and all.  Maybe you should call your MIL and invite her over for Christmas and figure out what's really going on?

    Wow, that's odd. I am don't the same thing. If anyone want to see us the door is open. I still haven't heard from my in laws. So I have no idea what's going on yet. I haven't talked to MIL since we got back from our trip in October. I don't really care who comes or doesn't but it will show me where we stand if they don't come. And I know it will kill DH if his family doesn't even try to make an effort to see him or our DD on Christmas.

    ugh, I am sorry to hear this. Some families just don't like to share. When I told my MIL we were spending thanksgiving with my family this year she said "Oh good I get you on Christmas." Actually she is spending part of it with my family too. I told her my family was coming over for Christmas brunch and I want them to come too she said I didn't have to do all that work - she has come over the last few years for brunch on Christmas morning. I don't get her sometimes.

    I lost both my parents and the holidays have been hard on me this year b/c I have my DD that my parents never got to meet and I am missing them more than ever. My only family that I am close with is my aunt, uncle and 2 cousins.

    This is why I'm so glad FIL is a pastor.  He has to do the Christmas morning service and they live 10 hours away, so they don't get here until late the night of Christmas or early the morning of the 26th.  We spend Christmas with my parents and the couple days after Christmas with his.  It's going to suck when he retires!

    I don't get your MIL.  Maybe try talking with her to clarify?  GL!
