27-year-old refuses to host entitled mother-in-law for Mother's Day after she was disrespected last time: 'I will no longer spend hours of my day for her'

In an ideal world, Mother's Day should be a tension-free one. Hopefully, everyone gathers around and celebrates the sacrifices that the mothers in the family have made for their kids. Perhaps there's a cake, perhaps there are presents, or perhaps there's a group activity. Of course, this shouldn't be the one time of year that the mothers of every family get to take a step back and relax with zero responsibilities, but that's how the day has come to be interpreted by many.

Unfortunately for this family, prior drama set the stage for this upcoming Mother's Day celebration to be a "hot mess express," so to speak. Keep scrolling below for this woman's account of how she put her foot down and refused to host a Mother's Day celebration for her entitled. mother-in-law, after her contributions to the older woman's last birthday party were completely ignored.

  • This 27-year-old typically loves to host family events with her husband, until last year, when their celebration of her entitled mother-in-law's birthday didn't exactly go as planned. The author and her husband sent an informal message in the family group chat, inviting everyone over. For whatever reason, her sister-in-law made a stink about not being personally invited despite the fact that she was fully on that text chain. Even when the author and her husband attempted to rectify the situation, her sister-in-law had already turned the mother-in-law against them. The damage was done, and by the time the event happened, the mother-in-law refused to show up to her own birthday festivities, despite the fact that the author spent the majority of her day preparing everything. So after this incident, the author put her foot down and refused to host anything for her mother-in-law again so that she wouldn't pull any more stunts like this. Now that Mother's Day is approaching, the tension rose to the surface once again…
