I hate to sound like I'm
complaining or looking for attention. It's just that after all
these years, I am worn thin, very thin. The hurt never ends when
it comes to the way my MIL treats us (mainly the kids and me).
Sarcasm, criticism, rude behavior, and being downright mean happen
to be her middle name! How can this hard woman have raised a good
son? I have never met anyone so stubborn and heartless. When she
walks past, I can see my breath. Honestly, it's hard to believe
she raised a large family. I come from one too, but my parents
showed love and affection. They didn't belittle us every chance
they got. She's an odd one. She never accepted our kids or me.
We live minutes apart, yet we are strangers. She would never baby-sit
or stop by. There is NO bond between her and our kids or me. GMs
like to teach, hug, and spoil kids - not this lady. Now, there
are OTHER grandkids whom she can't get enough of. They get all
the attention, while ours sit quietly, feeling awkward. They are
now grown and roll their eyes over it, but I know it hurts. They
didn't get any warmth from either GM or GP. Where were the kisses?
The kind words? The stories? The songs? Where was the support
when school functions came around? No Christmas plays, dance recitals,
volleyball or football. Where were the sleepovers? She was not
interested. Can a woman really be this hard? I say "woman",
because GP is just grouchy and doesn't talk. She runs the show.
How can she love some of the kids, but not all of the kids? Really,
it's beyond me. Thanks for listening.

Very Thin

My MIL was upset to see
her son move in with me while I was pregnant with our first child.
She was also pregnant at the same time I was. She was upset to
hear that my son crawled before her son. She's so competitive with
our child. She didn't like me at first, because I am a different
race than she is. DF doesn't stand up to her. She messed up DS's
first birthday party. She gets on my nerves, but I can never tell
her that. She never bought my son anything. My side of the family
are the only people who care.
