[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The poster with the movie analogy hit it on the nail.  I once ended 2 friendships over something similar.  I showed up to a 3 person  event where I was excluded from the conversation.  Totally forgotten and left to sit alone.  While I didn't sulk I never called those ladies back after they reached out to me several times.

I imagine you and your mother arrived bragging about all the wonderful things you did with the kids earlier.  Having insider conversations.  She felt excluded.  Rather than leave her alone you and your mother backed her into a corner.  She told you the truth and you got angry about  legitimate feelings.  Your mom should have raised you better.  As much as I wanted to side with you, I can't.  The fact that your husband would let you treat his mom so rude is questionable.  Invite your mother in law this year and find something else to do with your mom.[/quote]

Perhaps this is the way it happened...or not. We have no idea so I don't why so many posters are projecting and imagining their own version of events, which is NOT how OP described it. Some people are hysterical and dramatic, and do things like what OP described. In fact, didn't OP say her mil is jealous and she doesn't get along with her anyway? Why entertain stupid behavior from people you don't get along with? It's also not on OP to handle the kids' relationship with her mil. Either the mil needs to try sucking up to OP or get her son more involved. Either way, it's not OP's responsibility to give a shit about her mil.[/quote]
