[quote=Anonymous]This chain made me laugh. If she isn’t in charge of hosting a special event/occasion, my MIL will just plan a second version herself. For example, hosting a wedding “picnic” long after our wedding which we did not want. She hosted a surprise bridal shower for me because I did not plan nor want one. She hosted a baby shower for my first pregnancy after my official baby shower that I had planned myself. When it came to our dd’s first birthday, she offered to host. I firmly put my foot down that there would be ONE bday party (she wanted to have one at her house (2 states away!) too) that I would be hosting and she was more than welcome to attend. I asked her to bring a cake. She said no, actually she would bring cupcakes. She continually asked if she could bring some appetizer. I repeatedly said no, there was a menu theme and I was handling the food. She would then ask DH about bringing this same appetizer. He didn’t know or care what was going on. I continued to answer thanks but we’ve got the food covered. She arrived for the party with the appetizer in tow, saying I hope you don’t mind I brought this, you have a lot of people coming to the party and they need to be fed. I smiled and said of course, thank you. 
She then proceeded to point party guests to her appetizer announcing she made it.

Hahaha so yeah, I get a kick out of these stories. :)[/quote]
