MIL Always playing games..
My husband had a birthday a couple of months ago. He decided he wanted to go to The Keg for his birthday meal, so about ten days before, we invited around 10 people, including his parents.
MIL made a big deal about it, saying we were expecting too much and that a meal at The Keg was too expensive for everybody and that we should have a BBQ at our house instead. My husband and I are tired of always bending for her and told her no. Everybody else was fine with The Keg, and they also confirmed they were going, so we didn’t want to change the plans.
She got mad and said she wouldn’t be coming for dinner. We haven’t heard much from her since. Well, a couple of weeks ago, she announced that for her upcoming birthday, she would like to have dinner at The Keg and invited us for dinner. We said fine, we will see you there, not wanting to play into her little game. My SIL phoned before dinner and asked if we could split MIL’s meal as a birthday present. I said no because we had already bought her something. Now, the SIL is pissed off.
Apparently, my husband isn’t good enough for The Keg, but my MIL is?
