Re: What should I do?
Peony:
I know it is easier said than done. No one has power over us. We give that power to them. You hubby has to back you up to take back your lives. It’s your house and they are your friends with no aunties invited. She can throw her own party in her own house if she is interested in having a party. It’s good to see that your hubby is on your side and has told her that there are no aunties invited. Some MILs are very evil. They are like little spoiled brats but once you stop giving in to them and they know that you really don’t care if they have their fits and you aren’t going to pacify them with giving in then they lose all control. She can’t do anything. She is completely dependent on you guys. Take a stand for yourself, otherwise, you will continue giving until you can give no more. And how’s she going to cancel your party? Even if she has all of your friend’s phone numbers, you can easily write everyone an email and say please disregard the crazy MIL.
Yeah, Take advantage of her neediness/helplessness, make her pay for it.
Of course we must but for some people the term “Parents” mean my parents as in her parents and for his parents, goli maaro, they are dramatic people and are always wrong, vice-versa.
