Hubby contacted MIL to ask if she wanted to come to dinner to discuss the boundaries I had emailed her. To say she was pissed was an understatement
She received that message and saw it 4 days ago and hasn’t contacted us since seeing it. Hubbies on the phone saying we’re setting boundaries and MIL says this is a “gross overreaction”. She then declines to come over and says leave it for now
Hubby looks a little sad but says he’ll be ok. I breathe a huge sigh of relief. I get another week of peace
It’s our daughters bday party this weekend and she’s invited. It’ll be interesting if she chooses to show up. If not I’ll take it as another example of favouritism towards my son because nothing would hold her back from one of his events. If she doesn’t come I’m guessing we won’t be spending $500 to attend her bday (see previous posts)
I’m sad for my husband but happy for our family
