Long story short - my in laws clearly favour my sil & hubby over me & my dh (even more now that they have a child but it has always been the case). A couple examples being - they're always invited over for dinner/days out but not us, their house is filled with photos of them but only one of us.. they just seem to be their pride & joy whereas we are an afterthought.
On Christmas eve dh & I invited his family round for a Christmas dinner, as we wouldn't be seeing them on Christmas day. We went to a lot of effort to make it special for everyone & saved up for months beforehand as money is extremely tight for us right now. Everyone seemed to have a great time.
Today we were all invited to sil's for lunch.
When we got home I noticed that mil had posted a huge thank you post on Facebook about how lovely the lunch was, sil's cooking was incredible, & thank you for the wonderful day.. but she never said thank you to us, either in person or on Facebook!
I hope this doesn't seem petty but it happens all too often. Sil & bil are always thanked & praised publicly for everything they do while we seem to be ignored. It annoys me more than it hurts me, but I can't imagine how it makes my dh feel!! He says it doesn't bother him but it would certainly bother me if my mother was playing favourites with me & my siblings!
Should I address her rudeness or am I being over sensitive?
