[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like the grannies are out in full force today - not sure why you are getting such blowback here. I'm sorry OP. I doubt you are a narcissist or emotionally stunted, etc., but it's possible you are (or act like you are) very low maintenance, and you resent that your husband chose to give the special surprise to your high maintenance MIL. There is some truth to the saying that the squeaky wheel gets the grease, and it is reasonable to resent your husband for giving special treatment to his mother that he doesn't remember or realize that his wife also needs. Meaning, your husband probably married someone who is the opposite of his mother, who sounds exhausting, but that doesn't mean that he can neglect his duty to support and spend time with you.[/quote]

I’m sorry that your life is so boring that a lunch on a weekday because someone happens to be on your side of town is a “special surprise.” I’m not a granny and I’m 99.9% a DIL supporter when it comes to Family Relationships threads. But in this particular case, OP lost me with whole “missed opportunity to surprise me” narrative. What a load.[/quote]
