[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is everyone telling you what she said in the first place?  Sounds like a bunch of shit stirrers.  [/quote]
OP here. My young children told us first, and my husband wanted to confront her. She then confronted me. [/quote]

See, this makes the whole lot of you sound nuts.  An 8 year old tell you this and you take it at their word?  And your husband gets so worked up that he wants to “confront” her?  So she then “confronts” you?

Lots of anger, mistrust and hostility in your family.  [/quote]
Yes. My children were confused because we always have so much fun. They told us at dinner after they had FaceTimed, which was when she mentioned it. My husband immediately called his sister (maybe I shouldn’t have said ‘confront’ but that’s what he was doing, in regards to what she had said), and she said yes, she felt like a burden in our house and had told our children as much. She has brought it up repeatedly for nearly six months since, and now refuses to speak to me. I honestly don’t know what she hopes to gain. [/quote]

So is this the only thing that she's ever complained about in all these years of you hosting? And in what context does she "keep bringing it up?"[/quote]
OP here. It came out of nowhere. She was so upset about the mud room comment, even thought it was a blanket comment made to everyone in the house (my husband was present and confirmed later that my delivery wasn’t rude or inappropriate) but it clearly bothered her so much that it made her offload onto our kids. She had before never made a comment about hosting in the entire decade before this past one and the mud room request, and had asked to stay here each and every time before. She brings it up every single time she speaks to my husband. I have apologized, but she won’t speak to me anymore. [/quote]
