[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your husband is being a jerk.

I’m sorry.

I think it’s time you start doing the same for him. When Father’s Day comes around, ask him what he wants, pretend to care, then do the opposite.

[b]I’m so sick of men doing less than the bare minimum.[/b] The bar is in hell. He expects you to cater to him on Morher’s day? What next? Does he want you to buy him a present on your birthday too? [/quote]

DH isn't asking OP to do anything. OP can do nothing; OP is the person deciding she needs to do something:

[i]He told me he can't understand why having his mother there is any sort of extra imposition and [b]I could "just do what I wanted" anyway...Which is not how it works with a MIL[/b] as a houseguest even if she is nice.[/i]

OP can decide to do nothing with or without MIL staying over Saturday night. OP does not need to cater to anyone. Her DH and MIL are adults. [/quote]

Okay, let me be clear:

I’m so sick of men doing LESS than the bare minimum AND then gaslighting their wives that she’s wrong for feeling upset about it.

She wanted one day to relax with her kids with no responsibilities. No amount of slime and weaseling will change the fact that she was very clear she did not want to host a houseguest AND her husband decided what she wants is irrelevant. Only his wants matter on Mother’s Day. [/quote]
