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.

It is the lying that is weird and offensive. She expected me to take her EVERYWHERE I went… like Krogers, running errands, lunch with my mom, etc. Thus, it is offensive that she lied so many times not to invite me. I did not want an invitation, I just did not want her to lie to me. For example, if she left without telling us, that would be ok. Or if she just said that she had gone to the mall, when hubby asked, that would eb Ok too. However, she pretended in front of hubby that she wanted us there, even though she clearly did not.
