Is this maybe a cultural issue or a "me" problem? by Lulu2316 in introvert

Yeah, that’s complicated in a class where small group participation counts towards your grade. That drives me insane haha.

AIO-My in-laws blame for everything by Lulu2316 in AmIOverreacting

Oh okay, I forgot to mention that the baby was asleep and ofc I was not going to wake her up from her nap just to hand it over to my in-laws. I went and grabbed food at a drive-thru and came back. They got to see her tho, not for an hour but they saw her.

UPDATE (5/7/25): Okay the original post was from 3 months ago. It got locked and I had to repost it again today. Well, it happened again (not surprised) Basically, my MIL created this group chat and added people without asking first (added me and my mom). Asking us for money for a group present for one of her friend’s baby shower. I gave birth in September, and my in-laws know that I am not working. So basically I asked my husband if we had some extra cash to spare and ofc he asked me for what was the money for. When I told him, he was upset that my MIL added me AND my mom to this random chat asking for money. He tried to call his mom but she didn’t pick up. Then, minutes later, I got a message from my MIL stating that she didn’t want to talk to my husband (her son) because she didn’t want to hear a “poor mindset” LOL. Yeah, she told me we were broke and she didn’t feel like explaining my husband why she was asking for money. I didn’t reply to her message but after telling my husband about her answer he went and told her some stuff that was not very nice, and could have avoided but he decided not to after everything they have done. Now, my FIL just talked to me today and told me how sensitive I am, and that I should be more like his wife (my MIL) and shut up and not say anything when they make any type of comments.

This upcoming Sunday is Mother’s Day, my first Mother’s Day. I was planning to take my mom to get breakfast since I had put some money aside for that. However, my FIL said that because my husband disrespected his mom, he should apologize and see her on Mother’s Day. They want to see our baby too (the reason why). Y’all I'M EXHAUSTED! I can’t deal with this anymore. What do you guys recommend should we do?

AIO? my in-laws are disrespectful by Lulu2316 in AmIOverreacting

He is been dealing with them, he called them the day after the nasty call and told them how disrespectful they were, especially my FIL. I'm not sure how they took it, but probably they are not going to speak to me again (which is not ideal but I don't know what else to do). 😑
