I grew up with my husband. His sister and I were best friends from the time we were born. I spent summers at their house. So My MIL has also known me all my life. I love her very much. but I'm ready to tell her off big time. My daughter is the only girl in the family, I was pregnant at the same time as my SIL. I had the baby 3 months earlier. She never in the 2 months came to our house to see the baby. Then once SIL had to baby, comments like "I prefer boys" were made. She favors the other grandkids over mine, which is fine I accept that, I am JUST the DIL. Well we moved right down the street from MIL 3 years ago. I could honeslty tell you they have been here maybe 30 times. They come for the birthday parties (always an hour later) They only come here when they want tp borrow something.
My daughter loves my husbands dad. I mean really loves him. They drive by everyday and never stop in. They just blow the horn. I've told them to stop doing that because Ashley gets really upset. Well they still do it. So why I'm mad now (this has been going on for 3 years) is because last week I had the kids I babysit and Ashley outside and I hear someone yelling "Hi Ashley" (we live in the boonies) So I go running over to see who is yelling across the field and I see my MIL in the car at the stop sign waving and she drives off. How could you just yell hi to your grandchild that you never see and just keep driving?
Then, we have gone to church and out for fish lunch for the past 6 years with his family. This year no on called to say where we were meeting. We missed church and just went for lunch ourselves. But I'm really pissed. I've had enough of them ignoring my children. I AM NOT going to their house for Easter tomorrow. I told my husband if they can't come around all year, and yet they expect to see us on holidays, it's not going to happen. we live on the same dam road.
(Big deep breath) Ok I feel better now. [&:]
