Every year my husband’s parents host a birthday dinner for my brother in law and sister in law but never for my husband. This bothers me. My husband says he does not let him be bothered by this but he is human so it is only natural that it does bother him. This year we chose not to attend his sister’s birthday dinner because of some issues we had going on at the time and my mother in law choose to call my husband at work and chew him out for not going.
Now let me say my husband did talk to his sister and tell her why we would not be coming and she was ok with it. When my mother in law called him at work yelling he did stand up for himself and explain to his mother how it made him feel when they do nothing to recognize his birthday.
I had a surprise birthday party planned for my husband before he was admitted to the hospital for 2 weeks and had to have his kidney removed. When all this was going on I went ahead and cancelled the party for him but I will still be doing a dinner party for him at the house when he is feeling better.
While my husband was in the hospital still my mother in law called and said she wanted to host a birthday dinner for him seeing as I had to cancel. NEVER in the 13 years we have been together has his parents wanted to throw him a dinner and now after my husband defends himself they want to host one. This bothers me because it is like they are doing it out of guilt not out of the desire to spend time with their son and celebrating his 40th birthday.
Would I be wrong if I say that I am going to host the dinner for my husband and they are all invited?
