I'll be wearing my bitch face tomorrow

[thedahliharpa]

You may recall that my MIL is a gem. We try not to ask them to watch the girls but tomorrow H has Open House at pre-school. and it during D's bedtime. We asked MIL if she would watch D for 2 hours so that we could take H to dinner and then both be able to attend Open House with H. MIL said no she wouldn't watch her because she wants to go to Open House. Ummmm WE DIDN'T INVITE HER. WTF?

So I'm bringing D and hoping it goes well. I refuse to miss it while that entititled A-hole attends.

Laaaaame! You should have said its for parents only! Wish we were a tad closer- I would totally watch D!

[ruby412]

I'm not one to use profanities on the regular, but why is your MIL such a complete whore-face?!?

[muppetinma]

I'd cut a bitch for less than that.

Aww thanks :-)

She thinks open house means the free world can attend. My parents, if they lived here, would have jumped at the chance to help instead of hijacking the night.

[heyjojo]

Uh whut? That's ridiculous. I feel for you, I would probably implode if my MIL was that fucking annoying and inconsiderate.

Yes, I lost at MIL roulette. She's just selfish, entitled, and out of touch with reality, and selfish.

[melis74]

Who does that?! Bitchface well deserved, carry on!

[creamsiclechica]

I love that this is the woman who needs to be compensated for her time while watching her granddaughters, but manages to free up her busy schedule to crash open house night that doesn't concern her. I expect you to have a grumpy cat expression and demeanor all night!

[claralou]

WTF? wow. your MIL and my MIL should hang out and brush each other's hair.

I'm assuming there's no reasonable way to tell her she can't come? ugh......

DH would never and if he did she would berate me w/ nasty texts. My big passive aggressive mouth is going to have a hard time. Lots of cleansing breaths needed!

[thedahliharpa]

Also her wanting to come is one thing but she was told she was being asked so that 1. We could have a special couple of hours with just H and 2. So that D could have a normal night and bedtime. Grandmas are supposed to be...sweet, like on TV! Or at least be funny and she is not funny at all.

[charlielove]

WTF? An Open House is a parent event. Not a bring the whole damn family event. I'm seriously pissed for you!Damn her.

[christidee]

What? Se invited herself? That is awful!

No. Who does that? I'm livid for you. What a narcissistic, evil bitch. Sorry, but this is really horrible. Deep breaths. Deeeeeeeep cleansing breaths (but only because H and D will be there:) 

[DesertMoon]

This maybe a bit bitchy, but I wouldn't let her hold the baby at all...too mean?

I already thought of it. :-) It will be crowded so I would want to keep D in the baby carrier anyways.

[shevacc]

Can you tell her that it starts earlier or later than it does so that she's only there for part of the time? I'm sorry she's being so horrible. I would tell her straight out that she's not invited especially bc she's not willing to help you out but I completely understand not wanting to suffer the fallout. Hugs ?

[monkeybabe]

Is she planning to crash dinner, too? What a bitch.

[Deleted]

Ugggg. That's annoying.

[Dorothy Zbornak]

I feel like this calls for the gift of baked goods with laxatives.

[teamhayes]

Really? I have no words. Who does that, I mean really. You asked for a babysitter not for her to crash your family event. What is she going to get out of going? Make her pay for dinner and bring her to a mspi type place and watch her squirm.

Love it!

Sorry your mil is so selfish! Let us know how it plays out.

[bean47]

Um, I don't know why that is bold, I wasn't yelling or trying to stand out

[spaghetticat]

What a bitch. At least you will be able to save $$ by not paying her for babysitting ::eye roll:: please tell me she's not coming to dinner, too.

[kkfeb04]

WTF?! Why would she do that?

I apologize for any bitch faces you get for "grandma" tagging along. I would be the one giving the bitch face for extended families coming.

[fryjack2]

Wow.

Can you go during the start or end and try to miss her being there? Why does she even want to go? Is she the type to weigh in on whether you should send H there? Ugh! I'm so annoyed for you!

If that's too mean, then I'm mean too, because I was thinking the same thing. I can see my MIL wanting to do the same thing. She's not that crazy (anymore), but she wants to experience everything with the kids--she cried when she found out she couldn't come to DD's kindergarten graduation. If she horned in on a parent only event and made it more difficult for us, I would definitely let my H know she may be coming but she's not "with" us.

[katie]

I'm so mad for you, like really angry because my MIL would probably do the same thing. Has she requested any specific outfits for H to wear to this too? I wish you could say today, "we really want to spend this time with H and would appreciate you watch Dnfor us." what does your DH think? I hate the entitlement bull shit.
