Good morning ladies! Today during the day I am doing nothing. After MH gets home from work and the gym I will make dinner and then head to work for a little. Easter I will be heading to my Aunts house. My cousin is setting up an egg hunt for G and her daughter. They are less than three months apart and it's cute to see them play together.
I got to talk to my BFF last night and see her new LO. So sweet. My ovaries hurt. This morning we're going to the park with the little train. Sad my parents leave tomorrow ☹️
My aunt offered to host Easter supper. There will be about 20 of us for dinner, and another 10 joining for dessert. She said she wanted to host because she's on a special diet. We just got a text that she bought a "small ham with no glaze because it's what she can eat." The ham feeds 4. She has 6 kids in her family. My mom and I are side-eyeing hard.

SRS?! Nope. Better order a few pizzas!
Ikr. My mom is cooking a ham for the remaining 16 people and driving it the hour to my aunt's house.

That is ridiculous. I can see hosting so you can make something special that you can eat, however I would assume she would be providing dinner for the guests she invited. Pretty sure I would not show up.

Yeah, typically for us the host provides the main dish and then we all bring sides, desserts, apps, etc. I'm confused as to why she suddenly isn't planning on enough food to even feed her kids.
So on Monday FIL messaged me to see how we were all doing and then asked if I knew the dates of SIL's shower. I said MIL told us a few weeks ago that it was June 4th. Fast forward to yesterday, I get a nasty gram for SIL on FB telling me how dare I tell FIL the date of the shower it was not my right and and she was planning on telling him the date on Monday. I replied I had no idea the date was a secret and MIL told us a month ago and when he asked I honestly didn't think a thing of it. She replied I am causing drama, I flipped out and basically told her to not speak to me, since the only time she speaks to me is to bitch at me about something, so she proceeded to tell me I have issues, and I told her to F off.....
Told DH I am done with her, and he said he's been done with her for years.....

It's a statutory holiday here so we're on our way to MILs. Taking J over to a friend's to decorate eggs after lunch. Tomorrow we'll head home. Sunday we go to my parents for lunch and an egg hunt. Monday it's just J and I since DH will be back at work.
DS and I went to the dollar store to get some eggs for his hunt. I also picked up some ovulation and pregnancy tests while we were there. We aren't TTC yet but it won't be too much longer. DS dropped his babiators in the store. I realized it when we were checking out and looked all over but I couldn't find them. That's a bummer. We ordered a new pair to put on his Easter basket.

I didn't miss the window but she cried for a few half hour before falling asleep. She is starting to wake up a little now. I hope she is in a better mood.
I'm trying to not freak out. I went to pick up W from MIL today and she mentioned W room her "morning nap but fell asleep on the way home from the golf course."
I took the opportunity to ask her to not encourage naps at 9:30 because then she sleeps at 5 then bedtime is F'd and besides she'll be starting school soon and naps are at 12, just like they are at home and with my mom.
Cue 45 minute lecture on the "deep psychological trama" I'm cause W by putting myself (and my career) before my kids and sending her to school.
Then when I left she called H to tell him how terrible we are for even thinking about "paying someone else to raise our children." And that he needs to tell me to "set my priorities right."
I'm shaking I'm so mad. H is just like "not her kid. Not her choice." I'm ready to cut a bitch.

linny12 Wow. She needs to step back. And your DH needs to tell her so. If she can't follow your rules for W then she shouldn't have the opportunity to care for her.
If I remember correctly this is another incident in a long list of similar issues/experiences for you. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. W is lucky to have you for her mama.
