I missed my daughters birthday....

[crkirby]

I am so sad and upset.....I missed my daughters birthday.

Today my daughter turned 6 years old.  I had all her gifts neatly wrapped and up on my desk.  I had her cake on the counter all ready to go.  Everything was ready for 4pm when my husband got home from work today.

Every year I make her a big breakfast....

This morning I woke up and walked into the living room...shocked that she didn't come get me up.  She was on the couch playing a Wii game (which she is not allowed to do)...with my MIL, BIL, and his son.  I apologize to everyone for my oversleeping and go into the kitchen and my MIL says that SHE made my daughter some birthday pancakes.  My daughter also had all her presents unwrapped and told HER (MIL) that she was so happy she got them for her.  Apparently my daughter didn't realize that her father and I had bought those gifts for her.

So now I have no pictures of my daughters delighted face as she got her fave gifts.  I don't even have a memory to look back on about it.  All I have is that my MIL took away my tradition with my daughter and I was left in tears. 

My husband is very upset as well.  He says he will make it better when he gets home, but all he can really do is state how in the wrong she was for doing this....we can't rewrap gifts and get her to make the suprised happy face....

*sigh*

I would make your MIL pay you for the gifts, explain to your daughter what happened and I would also make her foot the bill for a special outing for you, your daughter and your husband!

Your husband needs to explain to his mother that the alpha female in this house is his wife and if she has a problem with that she shouldn't visit.  She had no right at all to take over your position.  I understand how upset you must be becasue I would be upset too.

Oh sweetie! I can feel your pain from here....try to pull it together though, for your daughter. It doesn't mean that you have to let it go, but you can make it better for everyone....at least for right now. Does your MIL know that you are upset?
