Last week about Wednesday or so, I recieved an email telling me that Sunday would be the July Birthday dinner at my MIL. OK, well I was off work this weekend and I had plans with some friends to spend it at the cabin. So, anyway I knew DH would find out sooner or later that the dinner would be sunday so I told him Thursday that I was going to the cabin.
Friday, he said that his mom had told him about the dinner, I reminded him I had plans and all was cool. I wasn't trying to avoid the family but little SD bday is one for July. NO I AM NOT SPENDING ANY OF MY ENERGY ON THIS ADULT-CHILD !! NO NO NO NO
She has not called or talked to her dad for over a month, as a matter of fact the last time they had contact was when he bought her another car. On father's day, she texted him and sent him a useless card. But no conversions at all. It was a good thing I didn't go, because I may had to speak my mind.
But yeah, I was a coward because I knew about the dinner and didn't tell DH, cause I didn't want to deal with it.
Anyway, went to the cabin, had a great time with my friends. Just got home a little while ago.
Thats good planning, and
Thats good planning, and likely you saved their gathering from being wrecked because if it were me, I too would've split wide open with the ugly trith- they prefer to live in their dream world like a big ole happy family- let them- I don't pretend so well.
Glad you had fun.
There is no reason where logic does not exist
Good for you.
Choosing not to participate is not cowardly.
Its sends the message without the drama.
