That's awful 😔 I'm really sorry you're in that position. I'm very fortunate that I have great parents but I was really hoping to have proper "second parents" in my in-laws. My FIL is pretty cool but my MIL can be dreadful. Apparently, she speaks well of me to other people yet she's been awful to me at times. I hasten to add, as far as things that matter to the 2.4 brigade (of which she is part) I tick the boxes - she has no reason to be the way she is towards me. One example - she told me, years ago, that if my husband and I ever had children, they wouldn't be treated the same as her granddaughter because her granddaughter is special. Said granddaughter is now 12, our little man is 2 and MIL has been absolutely true to her word 🙄 Just remember that it's not you, it's them. Also, you have the power to break the chain and ensure your own child has a much better experience than you did 😊 xx
Was she more excited for your first baby?
Have you talked to your husband about it?
