Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Oh this is the fun part: the gathering in question is my mils 70th birthday gathering

In whoop whoop, 8 hours drive away. (They literally live a five min drive from us) On the weekend "oh you can only stay one night if you like" aye cheers mate. My birthday is the sat. So i spend it in a car regardless.

The kicker: her birthday isn't the 6th. It's the 23rd. But "oh kids are going to be on international trips so let's do this date instead"

So now i'm absolutely fucking my birthday - and actually being able to see my sister who lives some distance away and has small children given it's actually a weekend or i'm blowing off the milestone birthday and "making" husband miss his mother's milestone b'day because he won't leave me alone for obvious reasons.

Absolute dog cunt move

Ugh what a crappy choice to have to make. Your FIL sounds like an absolute jerk. If I were you I'd be inclined to blow it off but you just know you'll be the 'bad guy' if you do!
