So my birthday, which I share with BIL, is in 2 weeks. Ever since DH and I got together BIL and I have celebrated our birthday together. I've never had a problem with it.
However this year I can't do anything. Due to complications I'm on bedrest for the remainder of my pregnancy (4 weeks). DH and I already decided since I can't do anything he's gonna take his brother to breakfast, give him his birthday present and card, then the rest of the day is gonna be spent in bed with me eating Hooters hotwings and having a How I Met Your Mother marathon. That evening my parents are coming over and we're gonna do fireworks. We explained to BIL and he's completely understanding of it.
Three days ago MIL called DH and told him she's planning a surprise birthday party at her house (an hour and a half from our house) for BIL and told him he was in charge of getting him to the party. DH reminded her it is my birthday too and he's going to be spending it with me. She then told him I could come too and she'll make a cake for me. He told her no, I'm on bedrest and he is spending my birthday with me in our house.
FF to today. I get a text asking what kind of cake I want at the party. I reminded her again I am on bedrest and we will not be attending. She then said "bedrest doesn't actually mean staying in bed, you can still go places and do things just take it easy" followed by "you should talk to your Dr at your next appointment and see if she'll okay it"
I haven't even responded. I just forwarded the messages to DH and he said he'll take care of it. I know he'll shut it down, but it still pisses me off. Idk what happened but she went from Awesome to crazy in the last few months and its just getting worse.
I don't really have a question. This is really just a vent (i know, not a vent board... Bad jena). But any advice on this subject and how to shut down future craziness will be appreciated.
