MIL acted sick & I missed my fav singer's concert
I’m feeling so torn right now 😅. I missed my favorite singer’s concert, and my MIL acted like it was some kind of personal betrayal — she was suddenly “sick” and sulking the whole day. I get that she has her feelings, but honestly, it was a concert I’d been looking forward to for months.
Sometimes it feels like no matter what I do, there’s tension or judgment from her. I really want to have a good relationship with my MIL, but I also want to live my life and enjoy things that matter to me without feeling guilty.
Does anyone have tricks or strategies for getting along with a difficult MIL without losing yourself? How do you balance personal joy with family harmony, especially when your choices make them act dramatic? 💭

Mil or not, if I already have plans she better figure something out. I’d never understand how you see the flag and still decide to ignore it.
