My sister in law asked me to go shopping with her to get some things for our in laws anniversary party and also help her put together a scrapbook for them. She called a few days later and told me that her and another brother in laws girlfriend and her went and picked up the things and that they were going to do the scrapbook this weekend. All of a sudden I'm not invited but, she let me know how much everything costs thinking that I was going to help pay for the things that they bought. WTF? I told her that we were going to pay for the cake and our part of the dinner and they could deal with the rest. Was that good enough or should I have gone off on her?

Well, this isn't the first time that she's invited to do things with her and then she'll go with someone else and let me know about it, she's a ***** and after this I will have nothing to do with her.

That's what I plan on doing, going and making sure the in laws have a nice party. I won't ever have anything to do with her again, because she always does thoughtless things to people.

Colleen O., the point was, that she invited me, then went without me with someone else, then informed me that her and this other person was doing the scrapbook....get it now?

You acted in a restrained and ladylike manner. Hooray for you.

Don't worry, it's kind of her being insecure with you taking a share of the spotlight. Seems that she wants to take all the credit for this party. Just do your bit that you were supposed to in the beginning and let her sort the rest seeing that she did not want you involved with in the first place.
It seems to me that she was married into the family first and then you came and now she feels threatened by you being there and stealing the limelight that was once hers. The next time she asks of something similar of you, just say that you're busy. She'll soon get the message.

"She called a few days later and told me that her and another brother in laws girlfriend and her went and picked up the things and that they were going to do the scrapbook this weekend" So where does that say you're not "invited" there were already plans in the works for you to help out, you didn't NEED to be invited. So all she was doing was informing you that there would be someone else helping as well. I would welcome extra help. Obviously you're too self centered and jealous to see that.

Why bother to go off on her. If she is that classless and thoughtless then just let it rest. Show your in-laws a good time at their anniversary part, and remember it is about them and not you and your sister in law. Next time she asked for help though be careful as history often repeats itself.

I think everything should be split down the middle. It was rude for her to univite you though.

If you were cut out of doing whatever, then I think that includes your money. It was so wrong for her to do that.
