I'm going to lose it on my MIL

She's the most passive aggressive person!!!!

All this frickin drama around Father's Day when we told her we'd accommodate whatever they wanted to do.  I feel like she likes playing the victim card and I'm soooo sick of it.

She invited us up for church on father's day.  I said to Pat that we'd do that and then stop by my parent's house for a bbq on the way home after.  Simple, easy peasy.

Then I hear he's invited them down for a bbq to our house Sunday afternoon.  Ok...he shouldn't have done that, but I told him that was fine, I'd rearrange things with my parents.  We were just waiting on hearing back from his parents if they could make it down due to car trouble.

I just got an email from her sent out to me and all her friends:

 "I am going to finally get to go to Portland for supplies and take John on a Father's Day outing to the ocean this weekend. Thought that Pat might come up but that fell through so we will do something by ourselves for a little break from the schedule."

What the f***?  I am so mad I'm shaking.  How dare she?  She's so passive aggressive.  

Here is my response back and I don't care if it starts a war:

"Mary, this makes me so sad and I'm confused. There has obviously been some miscommunication.

You had mentioned in an email back in mid-May about going up for church for Father's Day. I had told that to Pat and thought that was what we'd be doing. I said after we visited with you guys we'd stop by my parent's house on the way through for a bbq. Simple and I thought it was done.
Then I hear just two days ago that Pat had brought up the idea of you guys coming over to our house for a bbq. That was no problem, I told him I'd alter what was going on at my parent's house and we'd figure it out. He said he was just waiting to hear back from you on if you'd be able to make it down or not with the car situation.

Then I see this email and realize that it seems a lot of things are miscommunicated. I'm at a loss and don't know what to do or say. I even told Pat that we'd do whatever it took to see you guys and we'd see my parents at a different time to accommodate whatever you wanted to do."

    Ugh, I'm sorry! That is ridiculous. Great email to her though.
  • That really is ridiculous.  I don't understand why she would send that email out to her friends and cc you.  I do like your response.  I think it was great that you said "this make me so sad" rather just saying "WTF is your problem".  It was well written.  Let us know what she says!
  • Good email, no reason to beat around the bush, Have you guys still not seen them since before Christmas??

  • I haven't seen them since around Halloween.  Pat saw them on Mother's Day.

  • WTH would she have even sent that to all her friends? Was she planning on seeing them and wanted to update them or is she just trying to make them all feel sorry for her? When I replied I would have "accidentally" hit reply all!

  • I cannot believe she sent it to all of her friends too! What an evil thing to do.

    Great response and I totally agree you should have hit reply all. Ugh. I'm sorry Jaime.
