Bf's mom made me cry - about Thanksgiving

MyBabeMaddie wrote: My mom's mom died on Easter night 2006 so my mom is already dreading the holidays because it is the first Thanksgiving and Christmas without her mom. My grandma would always cook the dinner herself and we'd go out to her house with my moms sisters and their kids well since my grandma isn't here to cook this year, my moms sisters don't feel it necessary to come "home" to pittsburgh (they're in chicago). My grandpa is flying out to Chicago for Thanksgiving. My parents are divorced and this year is my dad's year for Thanksgiving so my brothers will be going with my dad's family and I promised Adam we could go to his mom's house for Thanksgiving since all of his family is coming in from Virginia. Adam's little sister invited my mom to their house for thanksgiving but I guess she forgot to tell her mom she did so. Yesterday Adam was talking to his mom and I go "Adam make sure your mom knows that your sister invited my mom over for Thanksgiving dinner" so he asked his mom. SHE WAS SOO MAD!!! I could hear what she was saying cause the earpiece on Adam's cell phone is SOO loud. She was like "Sarah's mom won't have a good time, I don't have enough chairs at the dinner table, There's already going to be 16 people over here I just can't have 1 more.... Why can't she go with her OWN family???" I had tears in my eyes and I said really loudly when he was on the phone with his mom still "If she has such a problem then MADISON, me and my mom will have Thanksgiving dinner by ourselves, I thought thanksgiving was a time to be with family and enjoy everyones company... Guess not" I couldnt believe his mom could be so cold, I mean cmon My mom just lost her mom and she'd be by herself on Thanksgiving and how could I tell her that she wasn't welcome at their house after the sister had already invited her. It turns out My mom's boyfriends plans fell through and she is going over there for Thanksgiving and I didn't even have to tell her that Adam's family are a bunch of #$%^.. Thanks for listening...

ZandersMama replied: I'm so sorry, his mom seems like a real winner........hope it all works out for you, and if she keeps being a b***^ then stay home with mom and baby, you will prob enjoy it more anyway,

MyLuvBugs replied: What a B****! Unbeleiveable! I can hardly believe that someone would say that at Thanksgiving time. WOW! I'm so sorry. But you were so right to say what you said. I hope you're mom has a good time with her BF. But it might be a good idea for you and Maddy to spend time with her anyway. The first holday after a loss is always the hardest. It's always good to have family around to help.

Calimama replied: Personally I would not spend Thanksgiving with her after a comment like that.

mckayleesmom replied: I wouldn't be spending the holidays at their house after that. The holidays are a time for family and giving....Im sure one extra person wouldn't be a big deal.

cameragirl21 replied: i agree with the others...after that i wouldn't go to her house for Thanksgiving, she obviously has no concept of what the holiday is all about.

sparkys2boys replied: Geeee.. that's cold. I wouldn't go now even if she begged me to go, that's awful. Stay home and enjoy the holiday.

CantWait replied: I agree, that's a pretty cold hearted b****. I can't believe she had the nerve. I'd be saying see ya.

redplaydoh replied: I wouldn't go either, afterall what is the holiday about THANKS GIVING... ? One more person when you have that many over won't make a difference. Where is her compassion?

amymom replied: So sorry that happened. Do not allow her meanness about this to ruin your holiday. Maybe she was having a bad moment. I hope things go well for her. The first Holidays are difficult. I know!

gr33n3y3z replied: what a heartless lady
Thanksgiving is for family and friends heck all holidays are for family and friends.

hawkshoe replied:
I agree.

That was totally insensitive. I am sure she wouldn't want to be left alone on Thanksgiving if the tables were turned.

1lilpeanut2love replied: I am SO sorry to hear that! What the heck is her darn problem? Sorry your feelings were hurt. What's up the all these wicked MIL. Urrghh. Hope you have a good thanksgiving despite all that was said. Good Luck!

amymom replied:
I just reread that. I meant I hope things go well for your mom!!! Send her lots of love, it is very difficult to lose a parent no matter what age you yourself are. And the holdiays , or for that matter any occasions where the person is noticably missing are difficult. I remember my first Christmas after my mom passed away and I kept looking for her reaction when my son would open a gift and she wasn't there. Since your Grandmother was such an big part of Thanksgiving you will all miss her most this year, but you will all begin new traditions .... Make them happy traditions.

Cece00 replied:
I wouldnt either.

Our Lil' Family replied:
Nor would I. You insult my mom like that, that's insulting me and I don't spend my holidays with people that hurt my family! How rude of her!

C&K*s Mommie replied:

Looking at the positive side of that (even though what his mother said was rude and VERY uncalled for ) on the positive side at least now you know what kind of person she can be at times. I do not know her, so I cannot say she is heartless, but it was a heartless comment to make.

Boys r us replied: I can't believe she would have such little empathy or respect for someone in your family! That's really sad and I would have a hard time being nice to her!

Kaitlin'smom replied: well I dont know the history between the 2 but that was RUDE. I dont know if I woudl even go myself.

lesliesmom replied: How rude of her. My parents go above and beyond and tend to invite everyone and their mother (literally). We have always had in-laws parents at holidays. I'm SO sorry she said all that stuff.... I would't go either... I'd stay home with my family (mom and daughter) and start my own traditions.... without them if that's they way they are going to be.

holley79 replied: I would end up going with your mom and her BF w/ Madison. I don't think I could handle being in the same house with her.

A&A'smommy replied: oh that is awful honey I'm sorry I would have been upset too!!
