Feeling pushed aside...😬

Amy • Mom to 4 beautiful girls. 3/3/10, 4/27/14, 4/8/17, 3/7/19.

My daughter is turning 9 tomorrow...and I’m due March 9th.

I’ve been kind of playing everything by ear in the sense of birthday party with the family and such since I don’t think this baby plans on staying in till due date.

So I talked to my hubbys grandma and asked if we could do the party at her house (more room than ours to house everybody) which she agreed. My MIL asked if she could make her cake...okay fine. So I texted the family yesterday that we’re doing a party Sunday afternoon at grandmas house.

Then I get a call from mom MIL saying we’re actually doing the party at my husbands uncles house (bigger again for everyone) and that my hubby and I need to pick up hamburger because grandma making chili and then pick up the ice cream.

I just felt taken back...like this is my child not yours so I’m somewhat confused on why she’s just taking over. I’m trying to look at it as they know I’m due any day and they’re trying to make sure her birthday gets celebrated regardless of the craziness (which I’m her mom I’m not just going to not celebrate her birthday) and they’re trying to take some stuff off my plate...

but it also kind of upsets me because I wasn’t really asked if I wanted them to do any of this. All I was asked was if my MIL could do the cake, not take over the whole party.

Idk am I just being an emotional pregnant person or does it seem like lines are getting crossed a little bit.
