Feeling bad for DH...
Today is DH's birthday. I am working out of town at the moment so I throw him a surprise birthday party last weekend. Most of our friends were there and he had a great time. We also had all his family over the night after for another birthday dinner for him. So basically he was okay with this weekend being a "regular" weekend.
His mom called him yesterday saying that for and FIL were taking him out for dinner tonight for his birthday. They were going to go to his favorite restaurant and she even made reservations. Well tonight comes around, DH gets off work around 4, goes home to get ready to go out to dinner. (It is a pretty fancy restaurant.) He gets all dressed up and he waits for his mom to pick him up. When she is 10 minutes late he calls her and asks where she is. Her response "I have decided that we are not going out any more L (his dad) and J (his brother) and drunk and I don't want to go alone with you for dinner.""
What the... Who does this. He sounded quite upset when he called me to tell me what happened. I just wish I could be there with him so he isn't alone tonight.
Re: Feeling bad for DH...
Thats horrible. She didn't want to go to dinner alone with him??? Poor guy.
b*tch.
I am glad you threw him a party last weekend.
tell us more about this his mother. She sounds rad!!
Married Bio
It is not super strange for his father and brother to drink like this, but it is odd for his mom to not want to have dinner with him.
She is super possessive and doesn't know any boundaries when it comes to her children. (She made them, so she can do what she wants when it comes to them).
We also just moved back to our hometown, and she has been wanting to spend a lot of time with him. So I find this very weird for her.
Just a few things:
-She spends almost everyday at SIL's as SIL needs help to care for her children. (She has 2, one in kindergarten and the other one is 3.) I am not bashing SAHM because I think what they do is amazing, but come on a woman who needs her moms help to get through the day to day struggles of having 2 kids?!? Come on! (her house is never clean either so I don't know what they do all day.)
-she spends to much money on things that she doesn't need. She will not buy anything unless it is on sale, but then she will buy 20 of them because it is on sale! She is always complaining about money
-She has told me that I am going to be a horrible mom because I will not quit my job after I have children. (all the woman in her family don't work)
-She gets very upset when I tell her her son (BIL) is not allowed at our place. (he steals and is a drug user) Some times she wont come over if BIL is not invited. (I sometimes prefer this.
)
