Mil rant/advice

in May 2012 Moms
So my mil and I do not get along, it's not news to anyone.  She asks my husband tonight if he wants to go to a phillies game with her, his father, and his niece on Sunday, mothers day.  Technically my first mothers day! I am 38 weeks pregnant and she puts him in this position!  So he has to choose between his manipulative mother and his wife whois about topop any minute with their first child!  Why wouldn't she ask one of her daughters? Especially the daughter whose daughter is going to the game with her! Am I being unreasonable? Am I wrong to feel this way?

    I, personally, couldn't give a rats arse about mother's day. People keep telling my husband he needs to do all kinds of stuff for me, and I just roll my eyes. So maybe it's not a big deal to her and she doesn't realize what she's doing? It's hard to say without knowing her, I could see this as a dumb not-thinking-about-it occurrence where she meant no harm, and I could see this as a manipulative she-thinks-it's-a-big-deal-and-wants-her-son-to-celebrate-her-motherhood-over-yours-because-she-feels-threatened occurrence (that one is longer :P ). Hard to say w/o knowing the people. Sorry you feel trapped :(

    Oh no...it's definitely the 2nd one...she knows what she is doing! I took her only son! My husband and I share a birthday and she made an announcement to a bunch of people that not only did I steal her son, but now I take him away on the day that she gave birth to him too...the b is crazy!

    Ad for the record anything about her is a big deal, ie mothers day or her birthday...she made a comment that the baby better come on time bc she didn't want to share her birthday with him..."she needs her own special day!" I wish I could say I was making this s***  up!

    Well, given that, then you have every right to be pissed! Sounds like a lovely woman.

    This... To me its not really Mother's Day till I have a baby in my arms... So next year will be my 1st Mother's Day. 

    This is the last year that DH can go and do something like that with his family. From here on out it is going to be more just your family orientated... So her wanting to do something with him is not un realistic.

    Haha... Sorry.

    It was my mom's Birthday this past week and I was literally praying that I wouldn't go into labor because I don't want LO to share her Birthday. Because then everything would always be "You were born on Grammie's Birthday" -- It would drive me insane. I am so glad that I got past that date!

    Im right there with you...fortunately my doc won't let me go past 41 weeks...her birthday is during that 41st week! Cutting it seriously close!
