Offered flight to MIL, no response?

She’s been texting with my husband but ignoring me. I think a simple “no thank you, I’m not interested” is the answer if she didn’t want to go. Not answering what’s a fairly generous offer is rude.

Ew. chiding OP when not assigning responsibility to her son / OP’s DH is nasty.

What did she say when DH texted “Mom, did you see Larla’s email about Xmas? Will you be coming?”

Tell your DH to ask her. This really, really isn’t hard.

Sheesh, call her.

So she's texting with your DH but you don't know if she's coming? Hasn't she said anything to DH? I'd mind my own business. She's his mom, let him deal with her.

Have your husband call his mother.

Drop the rope and in the future, just don't reach out so she doesn't have the opportunity to ignore you.

Husband can deal with it 🤷‍♀️ relieve yourself of this unnecessary pressure.

She flies out every year, so something must be going on. Maybe she's scheduled a lot of medical appointments. Otherwise she would probably have said no. But yeah, it's weird if she's in contact with DH otherwise.

My God, it's you again.

She doesn't want to come.

It's not that she hates any of you. She just prefers to do other things!

Stop posting about her and accept that she's different from you.

Because you're pushy, and she's been coming for years despite not wanting to, because you somehow make it hard for her to refuse. This year she's done, and she prefers to ignore you rather than have to deal with you.

I totally get that.

I think you already posted this.

Didn’t we discuss this last month?

Why wouldn't your husband ask her about the plane ticket?

Are these real problems? I want these problems. I'd be so good at handing them.
