This shouldn't bother me but . . .

I found out today that at least two of my SILs are taking my MIL to a tea room on Saturday for her birthday/Mother's Day. The third SIL may not be able to go. They've told my MIL they're taking her somewhere but not where.

I didn't get invited.

I know that I'm not her daughter but I am her DIL. And they know that I have no relationship with my own mother, so it would have been nice to be invited.

I'm sure they didn't invite me out of not wanting me there or being mean, they just didn't think about it. For some reason, maybe it's the pregnancy hormones, but it's starting to make me Or maybe it's because I wish I had my own mother to celebrate Mother's Day with.

Sorry. Really didn't mean to turn this into a pity party. At least I have my own daughter (and son) to spend the day with.

Call one of them up and "ask" What they have planned for mothers day?

That's how I found out. My MIL had told me one of her daughters was taking her somewhere on Saturday so I thought it was just the two of them. Then I was e-mailing another today and she said she had plans with her mom on Saturday so I asked what they had planned. So she told me and if any of them would have thought to invite me it would have been her. Like I said, I know they're not being mean and it really shouldn't bother me . . . but it does.

I am sorry Lisa. I wish you lived closer we could go out for brunch or something. I don't have anyone to spend mother's day with either. I will be thinking of you.

Lisa you know or really think it is not out of meaness (is that a word?) The SIL you think would of invited you, call her up and say it might be me and my baby blue moods but I was wondering if I could celebrate Mother's Day with your Mom and you gals. I just want MIL to know I care to and I think the world of her. I know it may seem rude but it is not. Like I tell my daughter the worse thing they can say is NO and yes it stings but we do get over it. I am sure they be thrilled for you to go. Thinking of you.

Since they've evidently had it planned for awhile (and I found out last night my DH has known about it as well and didn't think to tell me, so he didn't think to ask them about inviting me to go either) I'm not going to impose, because that's how I'd feel at this point. Maybe if I had found out last week I'd ask to go but considering I just found out two days before, I'm not going to ask. But thanks for the suggestion.

I understand Lisa. You know how my mother is. Having a nice mother on mother's day would be so nice. I hope Billy does something to make the day special.
