Need a bit of advice Re: Ella's b-day
So, my sister is going to be having a garage sale and selling a ton of my stuff. I feel like I should offer to help out and probably will. Anyway, it will most likely be me helping out on a Friday (Sept 16th) so, that is Ella's birthday weekend. Normally I don't really do parties after their 1st, but since we will be in my hometown around all my family I thought maybe just pizza and cake. Anywho...we had Jovie's party at my parent's house and about a month later MIL called DH to say how uncomfortable it was there..blah, blah, blah. I believe my family is possibly some of the most loving and welcoming people and my mom went out of her way to talk to MIL and wait on her. So, do I have a party at my parents house? Have it at a pizza place? Or, not go home at all and feel bad my sister is selling all my stuff? Even if we have it at a pizza place, my family is still 20 strong to their 4, so it may still be awkward...I need help!

I think probably with this lady, no matter how you do it, it's going to be "wrong." ya know? So I'd do whatever works best for you.
You could do one party with your family and then go out for pizza with his family but I completely understand not wanting a million different parties to plan too.
I think you bend over backwards alot already for your MIL, if you want to have it at your parent's house then do. If you don't because of the sale, have it at a pizza place, that way you're trying to make it more comfortable for your MIL w/o being obvious.

It sounds like your MIL is the type of person who is never happy no matter what you do. So I would do whatever makes you, Ella and your immediate family happiest. Just my 2 cents. :-)
