should one feel offended?

It has happened to me before and it was offensive.
First time, MIL and SILs had planned to to to the mall and that is understandable. However, they went out of their way not to tell me or my Jethani about it. MIL said she was going to SIL’s house to baby sit. Later, hubby brought it up at dinner how MIL had enjoyed at the mall. She was like, if I had known we were going to the mall, I would have asked you guys to come also." Hubby said, “But ammi you told me two weeks ago that you were going to the mall.”
Thus, MIL going to the mall with her daughters wasn’t a big deal because I wouldn’t have gone either way. However, her going out of her way to avoid inviting me and jethani was a bit weird.

I’m not sure why you would be offended or find it weird if your MIL wanted to spend time alone with her biological daughters by herself without including the DILs. She didn’t even invite her son (ie. your husband). And perhaps she lied b/c she wanted it to be just them and didn’t want to take the risk of you/jethani saying “yes” to coming. Sounds like her only mistake was mentioning this to her son b/c she obviously didn’t expect him to bring it up.
