Sister-in-law mad at me for Mothers Day Gift
I hosted a small Mother’s Day brunch for the mothers in my family including my mom, my husbands mom, and my aunts. As a gift, I purchased each of them a necklace that had their first borns birthday on it to symbolize the day they became a mother.
All of these moms have multiple children but I only did the first borns birthday as it was meant to be about them becoming mothers for the first time rather than listing out each child’s birthday.
My sister in law was quite passive aggressive when she realized her birthday wasn’t on it and only my husbands (as the first born) and made comments about how “he’s the first born and always been the more important one.” Mind you, we live across the country from them and only see them a couple times a year. He is not as close with his mom as she is. I just wanted to do something nice for when they were in town visiting so I hosted this brunch for both our families and got them those necklaces.
I am not the first born in my family either so my birthday was not on my mom’s necklace. Am I wrong for this?
