How would you deal with inlaws like this?
My husband is a very good man. Has a wonderful job, is a good father an excellent provider. He has his moments, like most – but he tries his best. His parents ignore him. We have been together for 15 years. They do not visit us. Never tell him they are proud of him. They did not go to the hospital when we had our son. Althou we tried for 11 years to have him. His father buys my husbands brother all sorts of expensive gifts. But never thinks of my husband. And my brother-n-law can more than afford the things on his own. Christmas, birthdays… they are all pretty much the same. My husband gets $20 and a card and his brother gets a new gun, gun safe… something big and costly. We do no care about the gifts really. Its the pain that is caused by their actions. I keep telling my husband you can not pick your parents.I don’t know what else to say or do. They constantly do things to hurt him it seems and to create a wedge between him and his brother. I don’t understand it. Any Help??!!
I think this happens to a lot of families. To be honest my parents prefer me over my two older siblings. They adore me and give me so much and would do anything for me and always call me on special days but they are not like that with my older brothers. I think it’s because my older brothers always act like it’s not a big deal, so they assume it’s not and think “Well he doesnt really care.” I also got along with my parents really well and did what they said and followed rules and did well in school and my brothers always rebelled.
Now it’s the total opposite with my husband’s family. His father DESPISES him and adores his younger sister and older brother. His older brother and younger sister are MAJOR “F” Ups and my father in law thinks they are the greatest and will do anything for them. WHY??? Because they are JUST like my father in law in his messed up thinking. My husband is not a bragger nor dramatic or into showing off money and his other siblings are….just like their father. My husband is very rational and logical and they are not….just like thier father. My father in law will send his siblings gifts on thier birthdays and call them, but not my husband….it’s like a jealousy or something. My husband at this point could care less.
I hope your husband can see he is so much better than that and be grateful that he has his paernts to teach him The “No to do’s” of parenting. He can learn from their mistakes. Your husband just can;t take anything personal and has to know nothing he does will be good enough for them, because it’s his PARENT’S Problem….not his!
Good Luck sweetie! With this issue and trying for another little doll!
Tale care!!
