DH and I have been married
for only three months, but we have been together for almost 4 years
now. Since we got together I have been constantly ridiculed
and looked down on by his mother. Lately, she has turned on
my DD from a previous relationship. She doesn't accept her
as part of the family, and looks for any excuse to leave her out
of the family functions. She has even gone so far as to say
that my DD is not part of her family, so why should she be included?
This hurts me very much, and my DH is stuck in the middle.
I feel that this is wrong, and that when DH and I got married, my
DD also became a part of her family. How do I deal with this
situation? I'm fed up! It is rude and disrespectful
of our family, and I feel that if she doesn't accept my DD, then
she doesn't accept me. It's a hateful person who punishes
a 4 year old child for the supposed sins of the mother. HELP!!!!

I am from a different
race than my DH. I have a lovely little girl whom everybody
(except MIL) adores. I am often stopped in supermarkets to
hear people tell me how cute my DD is. When I was pregnant
with my second baby, I jokingly said to my DH that I wonder how
the coming baby will look. MIL said sarcastically, "Well,
we've already seen the prototype..." And she then proceeded
to describe my coming baby with all the worst physical (bigoted)
stereotypes of my race.

Worst gift: My MIL came
to visit one weekend, a few weeks after we had moved into our new-to-us
home. The housewarming gift she brought was a still life of
fruit. There is nothing wrong with that as a gift, even if
it's not particularly my DH's taste, or my own. The unbelievable
part was that it was a picture obviously hand cut from a calendar,
glued on cardboard, and then put into a frame by the original owner,
MIL's recently deceased SIL. The SIL was her second husband's
sister, no sentimental connection to my DH at all. Of course,
we said "thank you", and put the picture in the storeroom
as soon as my MIL left our place. But, you'd think that a
woman who'd just spent $10,000 on "a little work behind the
ears" could afford to buy us a housewarming gift!
