So I get a 2 line email from the MIL asking if we plan to come to the family get together this Sunday to celebrate Father's Day.
Sure, we'll go....not like I can really say no anyway. So I reply back to count us in and ask what we should bring to the festiviites. She replies back that SHE would really like some homemade pasta salad and specifies not the box kind.
Sure ok. I can try to do that I guess. I usually start with the box kind as my base and then morph into something my own...but whatever.
What irks me is that I will spend the extra time and extra money and you wanna know what she'll bring? Her appetite.
Sigh. I am sure I sound petty, but it pesters me. If this didn't all the time it might not, but it does. Anyone else feel my pain? LOL

Want to share your OMG stories? All you have to do is send Mommy Vent an e-mail (MommyVent@gmail.com) with your story and she will post it on the blog. Think of it as a Dear Abby type thing (without the advice doled out by Mommy Vent). All you have to do is write a "Dear Mommy Vent here is my OMG story" and sign it how you want it posted on our blog. You pick the name... if you want it linked to your other blog... let me know.
Mommy Vent
Hello everyone! I am the creator of this blog, and the connection between the contributors. I am a stay-at-home-mom to two terrific toddlers (B who is 2 and C who is 1). I am married to a wonderful man R who is actually the one who suggested I create a second blog to vent my frustrations... got to love a man who realizes you need an outlet!
Bloggin From The Edge
Hi all! I am a recently-turned 30 yr old mommy to a 2yr old little boy, we'll call him The Rascal, and wife to JB. I work a full time job outside the home and that just makes life all the more interesting for sure. I quickly jumped and the invite to join this blog and have the freedom to whine and moan about the loonies I'm related to and also a few that I'm not, lol. Of course, the guise of anonymity makes it all the more freeing. Maybe you can relate to some of these adventures...but if you're lucky, you can't, lol. Cheers!
Messy Mommy
Hi ya! I'm a 30 something working mommy to two! I have a daughter, A, and a son R. When I was invited to join this blog- I immediately jumped on the chance -- I love my hubby, G, but I don't always like his family. This is my outlet for those family frustrations and crazy times.
Scatterbrain Mommy

I say start with a box, add veggies and cheese and such and don't tell anyone... lol Hey if she has an issue with it she won't ask you to make it again
the fact that she said DON'T use the box mix would make me go right out and buy it to use. Then again, I don't always make the best choices :) I'm with Mommy Vent- start with the box and make it your own like you would normally do- she doesn't have to eat it if you doesn't like it.
I was thinking of "forgetting" and bringing some thing else like fruit salad. But then again, she does HATE tomatos...lol.
