Husband made up for missing my birthday!
I told him he forgot and he was mortified and ran out immediately to buy me a cake. He said he thought that it was Sunday not Saturday.
Well on Sunday his sister calls and says she has been talking to SD12 and BM and wants to come up next weekend. She said that SD wasn't really talking to her but she was talking to BM to try to work out the next visit. Lovely how SIL and BM are both being middlemen to DH and SD. SIL thinks she and SD are besties though she is just and immature 26 year old that wants approval of a preteen. SIL has been pushing visits a lot since we had our daughter because she doesn't want DH to forgot SD, and she has always treated SD like a poor damaged child of divorce. He won't forget her, but SD wants little to do with us and we don't really feel like dealing with her when she won't give us the time of day unless DH agrees to take her or vacation or to a party.
My DH said no! SIL suggested the exact dates my family is visiting and he cited Covid as a reason but really he didn't want to ruin my time with my family by having SIL, SD and whatever entourage of family she brings. He said they can come up in a couple weeks. My family is coming up to see our 10 month old daughter and I see them maybe 3 or 4 times a year. They don't wear out their welcome as fast as his family and he wanted us to have a nice relaxing time with them.
Best present ever!!

Good for DH!
He not only nixed SIL's plans but told her the truth! And, belated Happy Birthday!
I'm glad it worked out well
I'm glad it worked out well in the end.
Idea for next year...I put important dates as recurring events in my husband's calander with reminder alerts set on his phone so that he has exact dates. He knows roughly when birthdays and anniversaries etc are, but will sometimes struggle with or doubt which day it is exactly. This way he will get a reminder every year!
No one wants people around who are just not pleasant...
My ils do the same thing blaming skids behaviour on bio mum and pandering to them. No one wants to tell them the truth about their behaviour or facts surrounding the divorce around their mum because poor kids of dovorce, we gotta baby them for the rest of their life. They only speak the truth when skids are not around...
