Well more about my mil really. She’s a nice enough person so it’s not so much about her, but I feel is weird relationship with her grandchildren.
Mil lives the other side of the world. Over ten years ago she moved there to be with her eldest son, so she only comes back every other year.
When she is over she comes for 4-6 months. However she sees our kids maybe 3 days max in that time. Not consecutive days. She’s normally splitting her journeys seeing her friends all over the UK.
When she visits her friends she plasters pics all over FB. But never takes pics with us or the kids. She takes loads with bil kids and posts them to FB. If bil puts pictures of his kids on FB she comments, if we do she might do a like.
I think what really strikes me is there’s no pics of DH. He’s over weight but bil is quite fit. Sil posts pics of herself daily very scantly clad and they make a attractive couple. Me and dh don’t 😂. If I posted I pic of myself in a bikini I’m likely to be arrested!
In the past we was at a wedding with her. No pictures of us with our kids. But bil and sil had a picture with our blonde beautiful angelic daughter.
I’m feeling depressed going on FB seeing mil commenting on bil posts, ignoring ours ( in comparison) And seeing pics of her with friends when she’s visiting knowing she would never pose with us or the kids.
I think we could all be hideously ugly to be fair but it’s the whole package of disinterest. Plus my mum is insane and fil has zero to do with the kids because of dh s step mum I suspect.
I hate fb but I mean on their due to clubs etc.
