i just need to vent

My husband's grandparents have been married for 60 years. Which is totally awesome and an enviable achievement! The family threw a surprise anniversary party for them the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Their actual date is November 14. Anyway... we were told about this party two days before Halloween. I was the only person in the entire family that was NOT at the celebration. As many of you know, I work retail. My work schedule is planned out at least three weeks in advance and the holiday times, it is often planned 5+ weeks out. Unfortunately, I was already scheduled to work that day. And as i had requested the previous Saturday (months prior, at that!) off, i didn't feel it was fair to ask for a second Saturday in a row. Here's the part that p!sses me off: my MIL will not stop reminding me that I wasn't there. And several others have joked about photo shopping me into the pictures. But the passive-aggressive attitude my MIL is displaying about it is what bothers me most! Just say "Carl and Elsie's party" NOT "when you weren't there." Grrrr! And they aren't even her parents, it's my FIL's parents! I have brought it up to my husband every time she says something, but he just shrugs it off. Last time she said something, it was all i could do to bite my tongue. I think my next step may be to say something to FIL...

  • Ew, how obnoxious of her.  I would tell your husband that if he doesn't say something to his Mom about it, then next time she brings it up, you will.  I understand that a 60th Anniversary is a big deal, but it's not like you missed it on purpose or to be mean...you had to work, especially with retail around the holidays, there's barely any chance to get off on a weekend.  Your MIL needs to get over it.  You're stronger than I am because I would have spoke up and told her to basically shut up about it after the second time she mentioned it lol.
