[quote=Anonymous]I have seen a trend where MIL throws big birthdays for 2 of his oldest kids (DH is in the middle.) She makes a big deal out of it and wants everyone to participate and give big gifts. MIL used to send me birthday cards in the beginning and she would also do a joint party for BIL and I since we are only 3 days apart. Recently, she never "remembers" my birthday and when someone brings it up she says we are too many in the family now so she can't remember every birthday so it's up to spouses to do things with their significant others.

Anyhow, my birthday passed a few days ago without even a birthday wish from most of my in-laws but today I received this long e-mail inviting DH and I to celebrate BIL birthday in an upscale restaurant  where we will all be responsible for our bills. We will then be required to split amongst us MIL, FIL, BIL and his wife's bill. How fair is this? I really don't feel like going. The problem is DH is very excited and doesn't see how this is so wrong on many levels. [/quote]
