this is stupid, but i'm irritated. re:MIL
My MIL just called me to say that she wants to make Chris a cake for his birthday.
This makes me irrationally annoyed.
I know he's her son- but I've made him a birthday cake every year for the last few years. She KNOWS this. I've made her cakes, and BIL cakes as well.
She also wants to keep it a surprise.. wtf am I supposed to do with that?
Chris has already told me about 100x he wants me to make him a carrot cake.. which is what I was planning to do.
I guess I'll just tell him I don't have time and I'll go buy him some cupcakes from this awesome cupcake place.. but this makes me feel like a shittay wife.
I am leaving friday night and won't be back till saturday night and his mom also just said they are coming over Sunday - so I really don't have time..but still. I'm annoyed.
I know this is really, really stupid. but whatever. She's never shown any interest in making him a cake before.. hell, last year they didn't even come over for his birthday.

Sometimes I am glad I live so far away from family. I just got back from a two week vacation from FL and I got my fill of family
Good luck and I totally understand how little things like that can get under your skin!

Well, he wants a carrot cake, so I told her that's what he wants - so that's what she's planning on making.
I can't go behind her back and make him one in addition to the one she is already making. My relationship with her is already very rocky, and I don't think that would be the best decision to make a cake knowing that she wants to make one.
I appreciate all your suggestions.
I'm going to go to the cupcake shop and get a few cupcakes for us to have tonight & I'll just tell him I don't have time..
