What would you say????
My mother in law called to tell my husband he should bring his sister to a party that my husband and I were invited to that two couples were throwing.
My husband is not ok with this, he feels like he can't be himself or open up with her around & there are no single people there, and his MOM is trying to make him feel guilty.
He has "brought" her "uninvited" several times to other things. She is in her 30's. (very Nice girl- She would be mad if she new her mom acted this way)
He wants to tell her no that he would rather not have her there much less ASK that she be invited but he knows his MOM will make him feel terrible-
This is a fairly common thing on this side of the family- very overbearing mother so what do I tell my husband?
I said I would call her if he wanted- he said now he doesn't even want to go to the party he said he's thinking about what to tell her.
This is so elementary!!!!!!!!!! I am so glad I am an only child!!!!!!!!!!!!
My mother in law was due to babysit FOR US...she threw that in his face- so not right but there you go.
I have since changed the babysitting arrangement to suit ME

if he doesn't want to take her,he shouldn't take her, and then he should stop telling him mother about parties that he is invited two. How could she make him feel bad about not taking his sister. When I throw a party, and people bring someone that isn't invited (without asking first) it really pisses me off. No one wants to throw a party for their close friends and then someone brings an extra person. it makes everyone uncomfortable... BUT DONT YOU GET INVOLVED W/IT. its a family thing.
oh yeah, it wouldn't matter if he was an only child, with a mother like that, she'd try to push a cousin off on your husband if she thought she needed fixing up. LOL

If you don't go to the party, her overbearing attitude is working and will continue to throughout your marriage. First of all, you shouldn't call her. He needs to deal with this. He should tell his mom that he would be more than happy to take his sister to the party if the host of the party invites her ( which won't happen), but it is not his place to tell the host whom to invite. He should also make his sister aware of what mom is doing. If you think it will make her upset, she might be the one to stop her mom from "inviting" her to parties.
