To be a bit hurt he left my son out

dh and I went for breakfast with FIL and his wife today. DH brought my step dc, 12 and 9 and I brought my son 14. FIL went to the shop and came out with chocolate bars for his two grandchildren and left my son with nothing.

He’s known him since he was 8. DH has messaged him to say that all of the children should be included as we are a blended family and FIL hasn’t replied. I wish I’d said something at the time but I was taken aback and left it to DH.

Yes, he should have brought chocolate for all three of them. Tbh it was plain rude. Blended families apart if one of my children was with a friend for some reason I would buy 3 chocolates. I don’t think it was a huge expense.
Do you think FIL is not replying because deep down he knows he was wrong but doesn’t want to acknowledge it?

Agree, it's petty and nasty getting chocolate for 2 kids and leaving the other one out.

I'd think differently of him after that.

A house - fair enough

A chocolate bar, fucking petty & nasty.

I'd never leave a kid out. Nasty FIL

I think you did the right thing letting DH handle it. YANBU to be upset, that's really mean of him. Did your DS say anything about it?
