Super awkward Mothers Day lunch
I just need to VENTTTT!!!!
We’re in Australia so we had Mother’s Day lunch with the mum in law earlier today. My relationship with her is usually good. We haven’t had any dramas for years.
So it was extremely weird today when she simply did not engage with me. From the time we said hello, she did not direct a single question to me, nor did she ask how I was.
When I asked her questions or started a conversation, she responded to my husband. She joked around with my daughter but ignored me.
When my husband paid the bill, we sat in awkward silence. Then we left the restaurant, said goodbye and left.
I don’t know what I did or said but I’m done. I will happily not attend a single gathering where she’s at. I just hope she realises that this also means she will be having a lot less contact with my daughter. Yes, I can be petty!
