In-Law Vent

I have had the theme and date for Ava Nichol's birthday picked out since December and we have shared it with many family members multiple times.

I mailed out paper invites but made a facebook event so people could rsvp easier. I wake up this morning to find a comment on the event from Step-MIL. She said "sorry we won't make it because we have plans with friends that day. We will have to get together another day and celebrate her birthday."

The truth is that this is SMIL's bday weekend and she is planning on being hungover that day. We know that because we had already talked to FIL about it and their plans are for Sat night and the party is Sun at 2. SMIL ,in her own words, expects her birthday weekend to be all about her and she should be pampered and spoiled. I can't help it that Ava Nichol's bday is 3 days after SMIL's and for goodness sakes you are 42 years old get over yourself for a couple hours and celebrate your granddaughter's 1st bday!

DH and I talked about it already and we will not be going over to their house for a special bday dinner. Either you make it to this party that we have put a lot of work into or you don't celebrate Ava Nichol's bday. It wouldn't be fair to make special arrangements with them when no one else gets that luxury.

This is just a culmination of events where they always put us and our daughter below everybody else.

  • Ugh that sucks.  At least you and your DH are on the same page.  Don't let it ruin the party - sounds like she's an AW anyway so it might best she's not there.

  • Also Ava Nichol won't notice if we don't celebrate her birthday with them. She doesn't like SMIL anyway and cries if she gets too close. We do go out of our way all the time to make sure that Ava Nichol gets to know her Papa and Nana but we are not bendin

  • I dont blame you. Kids shouldn't have to have multiple birthday parties.

  • Your SMIL sounds like a piece of work! I wouldn't budge either. And I find it funny that Ava cries around her anyhow. Rodney does the same with my ILs.
