It's that time of the year. Off to see the in laws. Got a lovely mil. I used to really get on with my fil. But he is hard work. There is no doubt. He has fallen out with a lot of people. These days he tries to ignore me. He doesn't feel comfortable being in the same room. Says a few pleasantries but that's about it. I try to be nice and initiate conversation but it all feels strained.
However there's one comment I can't forget. My little boy had an accident. He burnt himself. It wasn't too bad. One day my fil came storming past me and spat out 'take care of your kids WOMAN!' and then stormed past. It was a comment that came out of nowhere. And it was said so viciously that I can't get over it. That was about three years ago. AIBU? Should I get over just one comment. And accept that we can co-exist together for the children's sake.
I'm being a bit too sensitive aren't I?
