serious. No jokes or anything else trollingMy MIL makes me insane! Her favoritism toward my SIL makes me want throat punch her. She treats my husband like an outcast of society. And I try my best to ignore it but some stuff you couldn’t make up. At first I thought it was just me and all in my head until a few of my husbands family was joking about him being the black sheep and how if she wasn’t his mom, she wouldn’t like him or talk to him. Wtf. Let me just give you examples:We call them to see if they would like to get together for dinner. They can’t. Why? My MIL, FIL, SIL, and niece have all gone out of town to see an uncle who has cancer. They didn’t ask because my husband works too much.My SIL (a single mom) lives with my in laws. They can’t ever watch our daughter because they are always watching her child. I get it single mom help. But we USE to ask once a year for my MIL to watch our one child (we have 3 kids but they go to their bio dads house on weekends) so we can have a 3 day 2 night get away for our anniversary. She can’t because SIL has a date with the flavor of the month.My uncle passed away and we tried every other person to watch our kid for 4 hours while we went to services (didn’t really want a 4 year old to experience services). Well she can’t because SIL is having a spontaneous yard sale (as in hey I planned this yesterday).On my husbands bday the ENTIRE night was all about my SIL planning her wedding. I get it, she’s excited. But my MIL planned dinner time around my SIL. Forget our kids having bedtimes, my husband having to work 3rds. No let’s plan his bday around her.My MiL looks down her nose at us because we pay cash for used cars instead of getting brand new 2017 cars and having payments. Forget the fact my husband is a Marine, a full time factory worker, a union steward, an amazing dad to 3 kids, and has a side business of woodworking. No. That’s not good enough. Our only debt it our house which we are working to try to pay off early so no we can’t go on 3-4 family vacations a year. And her constant “when are you going back to real work” makes me wanna lose it. Never mind the fact I was the only one working when we first married. Now I stay home with the kids because it’s cheaper than childcare. I also do odd jobs for cash. We don’t borrow money from them or ask for anything free.So between the turned up noses and never getting kid free time I’m about to snap. My mom can’t watch the kids she’s too sick often in the hospital, my dad is the same way. And I wouldn’t trust his sister to pull her head out of her own ass long enough to even consider helping us like we help her PLUS she’s stupid when it comes to kids. I can’t even go into details about that some internet troll would cause trouble.Thanks for reading. I know this too shall pass just a matter of time. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2wetDm4
