Got to get this off my chest-OT

[Guest]

My MIL is a millionairess
she has 3 grandkids and 1 granddaughter
last year she forgot her grand-daghter- my daughter's -birthday
this year she remembered and stuck £20 in a card and posted it


i know it's the thought that counts but FFS

thanks ladies- needed to get that off my chest
her son is unable to say anything about her lack of generoity as when he raised a feeble voice to be 'slightly unhappy' that she forgot her birthday before , she blanked him til he apologised for making her feel bad

Quick question did she forget the other grandkids b-days?? Or just your daughters? If just your daughter you have every right to be mad, if she forgot all of them, then she is just a forgetful person. (or cheap)

I feel your pain, my husbands family is infuriating and your husbands mom sounds like she could be besties with my M-I-L! There's 18 grandkids (3 of which is our children) well a couple of years ago, on a visit to the MIL's house (everyone seemed to be there) we found out the M-I-L knitted these really gorgeous blankets for the grandkids, EVERY single grandchild EXcept for our kids had received a blanket! This is just one example out of many. I gotta say tho, my F-I-L seemed to be a bit embaressed by the situation and told my kids to tell grandma the colors they wanted for their blankets. My youngest has gotten hers, I doubt if my 2 oldest will get theirs, the M-I-L's health is going down fast and plus our oldest 2 happen to be "step" children. (to my husband they aren't step children, they are his own, he's been with them since they were still in diapers. For some reason his mom doesn't see it like that. Even tho her current husband is 7 of her kids step dad, lol that's what has me confused. Her kids were never treated like step kids, they were treated like his bio kids)


In laws can be so infuriating, and what's worse is when the M-I-L is "queen bee" and everyone does what she says and just lets her run the show. No matter what or who she upsets.

Did it hurt your husband's feelings as well? If not, you need to have a chat with him...it is HIS mother. Has she always been like this, does she treat everyone like this or just your daughter. You know, those kinds of things. That will at least give you some clarity on whether she's just a incensitive grandmother or a raging b!tch towards your daughter.

If it is just your daughter, think about your relationshipe with her. Does she like you, do you get along. If NOT and she USING your daughter to "punish" you and express her feelings towards YOU......your husband needs to step up to the plate and have a discussion with granny for you daughter's sake.

There is nothing more painful than when our children are overlooked or treated like they don't matter! We've had our share of problems with my MIL also as she favouritises my eldest over the other two, for no reason that I can see.

Is it a matter of having favourites or is she like this with the other grandchildren too? If it's the same with all of them it would seem that's the type of person she is and not much will change her!

However, if it's just with yours that would be a problem. Like another poster said, you should talk to your husband about it. If she chooses to blank him when she's in the wrong, then that's up to her. She needs to be accountable for her actions and not act like a school girl for not getting her way. When she sees she's not getting attention for it anymore, hopefully she'll come round.
