    Fil has ‘accidentally’ planned a family gathering on my birthday.

    It’s not the first time

      Tell everyone every 10 seconds that it’s actually your birthday. Like if they some one says “happy birthday” say “thanks, ooh wait did you not mean me? Since I’m actually the only one here who’s birthday it is haha”. If you’re annoying enough he won’t do it again.

        Oh this is the fun part: the gathering in question is my mils 70th birthday gathering

        In whoop whoop, 8 hours drive away. (They literally live a five min drive from us) On the weekend “oh you can only stay one night if you like” aye cheers mate. My birthday is the sat. So i spend it in a car regardless.

        The kicker: her birthday isn’t the 6th. It’s the 23rd. But “oh kids are going to be on international trips so let’s do this date instead”

        So now i’m absolutely fucking my birthday - and actually being able to see my sister who lives some distance away and has small children given it’s actually a weekend or i’m blowing off the milestone birthday and “making” husband miss his mother’s milestone b’day because he won’t leave me alone for obvious reasons.

        Absolute dog cunt move

          Ugh what a crappy choice to have to make. Your FIL sounds like an absolute jerk. If I were you I’d be inclined to blow it off but you just know you’ll be the ‘bad guy’ if you do!
