[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I solved the problem myself. I called MIL last night and explained where I stand. Everyone wants something special for their birthdays. For MIL, it means gathering her family around, and we always oblige. One of my SILs loves tea parties for her birthday, with dresses and everything. We also oblige, even though several of us have boys who are hardly into fancy tea parties in the garden. For my birthday, I want to be with my immediate family. It is a simple request. She said SHE understood but it all came down to her other kids, that "they would be hurt". Well, it is not about them, it is about me. Vacationing with many people in the house is not my idea of a "good time". Once a year we are allowed to be selfish. Especially in this current health crisis.[/quote] Bravo. Now go enjoy yourself and happy birthday! [/quote]
