Re: more randomness from the mother IN LAW.,
Duh! Cuz there was cake and she was worried that nobody would eat it, so she invited along a party that will help with that. It is very commendable indeed that she does not like to waste food, Nadzy. Maybe she invited guests to make it feel more like a celebration?
Why can’t you just be a dutiful bahu and ask them every 10 minutes? That way you’ll be asking her 144 times during the day. Make it 5 minutes if need be. They’ll tire of you soon enough. They might even try to be “claaaaver” and do the same to you. That’s when you (being the disgruntled DIL that you are)…can snidely say, “Oh it’s about time you asked how I was doing Saasu Maa. I was beginning to think you didn’t have any manners. Surely you were raised better than that.”
Yes, that is the way you should go about things. :k:
***But on a more serious note…you thread makes your anniversary seem more about MIL than you and your husband. I hope you managed to spend some quality time with him.
