[quote=Anonymous]Your husband should have handled this better. In life I find it’s always better to underpromise and overdeliver than the other way around. Your husband didn’t want to tell his mom you guys weren’t available so he said “maybe” and left it on YOU to cancel so he wouldn’t have to. That’s cowardly. He threw you under the bus so he wouldn’t have to be the one to say no. If he had a spine he would have told his mom no ahead of time. Then he could have talked to you the day of the birthday and checked if you were available—if yes, it’s a happy surprise. If no, it was expected. Instead, he dumped the emotional labor on you and made you the bad guy on his mom’s birthday. He needs to grow up and apologize to you and his mom. You need to stop enabling this behavior. [/quote]
