Vent: DH's bday dinner
Celebrated DH's bday last night with dinner w/his family. There always is so many people, so it's always chaos. The 8 for last night's meal was average attendance.
DH and FIL were talking, FIL mentions oh yeah, you got a raise didn't you? How much did you get? I sat stunned and stared at him, and DH says enough... FIL pressed and asked again. I said to him, Why not just say, "Congrats son, you got a raise, good for you!", and I told DH he doesn't have to tell him. He wasn't going to anyway, but it's none of FIL's business IMO.
Our entrees arrive, and a plate is set in front of MIL, and SIL immediately picks up her fork and takes a potato wedge from MIL's plate. I see the whole thing and say G! That's really rude! She stares at me and says "What? She doesn't mind..." Other SILs husband says wife SIL eats from his plate all the time too. Maybe MIL does mind but she's used to it from letting everyone eat from her plate. All very rude to me. MIL said nothing.
I've known this family for a very long time, and it's always bugged me that they have very few manners. I apologized to DH in the car for complaining about his siblings, but really? They're all old enough to know better and act civilized while dining out. And this is why none of them are ever invited to my bday dinner.

Re: Vent: DH's bday dinner
They definitely acted rude, but I would have kept my mouth shut for sure. If DH or MIL were that offended, they could have spoken up themselves, IMO. Maybe that's just because I'm a very non-confrontational and myob type of person, though.
Hope DH was able to enjoy his birthday dinner anyhow!
