Not the point. |

| It’s nice that you apologized, but you acted like an OTT drama queen. So, if I was your SIL, I wouldn’t handling out with you anymore either—no one needs dramatic nonsense in their lives. |

Had to check the date on this to see if I wrote it! I agree. The SIL is an annoying attention seeker and the OP is honestly off the deep end. They probably deserve each other. |

Oh my…I have never seen someone demand that an old man with mobility issues move to accommodate someone else and I grew up with the family from he$l.
I wouldn’t worry about seeing that side of the family again, op. |

Gross to use people with differences as an insult |

| Lol forcing your DH to wear a mask, standing outside and demanding people cater to you, leaving in a huff when you don't get your way. Your SIL is rightfully ignoring you - guessing this isn't the only time you have had concerns with illness or expected the ENTIRE family to cater to your neurosis. Is your DH mad at you? I would be |

You should have stayed home
Or sung Happy Birthday outside SIL is a big baby If people are extra cautious about the flu because of an upcoming important event, be understanding. Everybody hug it out and grow up. |

+1 I just had an incident like this with a mother and this is exactly how I feel about her. The SIL, like me, is probably keeping their DC away from OP’s because we are afraid of bad influences on our DCs. That selfish mother’s DC is just as self absorbed, and the incident opened my eyes. |

Um, just about everyone. People aren’t paranoid about the flu when the sick person isn’t even attending! |

Holy time wormhole. Is this a post from 2020?

| OP sounds neurotic but is probably always like this - SIL was trying to stir the pot to make a big deal about her coming in to sign Happy Birthday - who cares about that once you're in double digits. Why was it so important to SIL to force everyone to sing her HB? Just let your weird relative sit outside and do their thing |
