[quote=Anonymous]DH and I and his sister (my SIL) live in the DC area. Their mom, my MIL, retired someplace a plane ride away. We all get along fine, wouldn’t say we’re super close, but at least superficially we’re all happy to see each other.

When MIL visits she usually stays with her daughter but we all maximize the time together as a larger group.

I’m currently home on maternity leave and MIL came for a long weekend visit. This time she stayed with us (SIL was tied up with other visitors).  MIL’s visit was fine until the day before she left, which was when SIL free’d up from her visitors. MIL announced that SIL was picking her up for a “girls lunch” at a nice restaurant and then an afternoon of museum seeing. This was on a weekday when DH was at work. It was clear I was not invited, and when SIL arrived to pick up MIL I acted a bit frosty. They both repeatedly gushed about “never getting the chance to do something like this just the 2 of us”.

I am pretty hurt. It seems totally rude especially since I could’ve used an outing, even if I only joined for part of it, with the baby. Seems rude especially since I was hosting MIL.

Am I off base for being miffed? I don’t think they dislike me but it was clear  not in their inner circle. Which is true and fine, just hurtful to have it in my face like this. [/quote]
