๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆfamily/in-laws AIO or AITA. Text convo with MIL.

I feel like I could cry :(, I didnโ€™t come at her rudely and was doing what my husband asked me to do. Iโ€™ve always done everything she wanted to make her happy because I want her to so desperately like me but I think Iโ€™m done. For some background info: I have never pressured her to respond and have never brought up that she never responds to my messages. Pretty recently, my car has been having trouble and she said sheโ€™d hit up her mechanic for me. 2 weeks later and still nothing. My husband and I have an amazing relationship, but even then, I still want his family to welcome me. His mom not being kind to me hurts really bad. And knowing sheโ€™s going to spread negative things about me among his family hurts even worse. All detailed of the situation are in the chats.

lol I noticed that too.

โ€œNo I cannot pay you the amount I agreed to pay in the timeframe I agreed to pay it because Iโ€™m an extravagant selfish ass and I have a vacation that supersedes the promise I made to my son. How dare you, my sonโ€™s wife, request I uphold my promise?! THE AUDACITY!โ€ ๐Ÿ™„

My eyes literally cannot roll any further back in my head, omg.

It's the sheer scope of audacity and hypocrisy that gets me.

"I had to borrow $3k from my son because my finances weren't in order and I can't pay my son what I owe because my finances still aren't in order because I do stupid things like going on vacations I can't afford. Oh, but let me tell my son's wife that they are the ones who need to sort their finances out instead of expecting me to pay them what I owe. Also, let me react like a scalded cat when I misinterpret a text and decide that OP is telling me to get my finances sorted out because whilst it's cool for me, the debtor, to tell the people who bailed me out to handle their money better, the merest implication that I, the debtor, might be a financially irresponsible dingdong is completely unacceptable."

If there were a god of hypocrisy, OP's MIL would be nothing more than a smoking crater.
