Nephew is now 10 and has just stopped breast feeding on demand in public!
MIL bellows across the room at me when she doesn't like what she THINKS I'm doing..
BIL tells my children off (when they both win prizes for polite behaviour) whilst his children smash the place up..
BIL and SIL always insist that Nephew gets everything he wants at the table, everyone else can share what is left- he is the greediest child I have ever met, he steals all the Easter eggs, opens all the children's presents at Christmas, even though we give him a bag of his own to distract him.
I am emotionally sensitive, so this whole thing feels worse to me than it might to others, I suspect.
MIL says don't rock the boat, we are only together 3 days of the year. Can't you just put up with it? We do every time, but I hate myself for not standing up to them all. When I have done, it has resulted in them being very,very abusive and making me feel like the worst person that ever lived). If we stand up to them (DH always supports me, but it panics me because it starts such a torrent of abuse towards us, and ends with us quietly leaving while they yell their abuse and insults at us as we close the door).
