Please no re-posts from newspapers. Had a few things posted recently, just don't it please 🙏
anyway, Dp has a younger sister, let's call her Megan. She doesn't have kids, but would like them i think, not sure if this is relevant. me and dp have two.
megan doesn't live that close by to us or mil. We live about a 20 minute drive from mil. Kids don't see her that often, she works, we work and it's probably once or twice a month so not a huge amount. Dp usually takes them over, so I see her even less.
Megan had shown some signs of being jealous of Dp and the kids seeing mil. I don't think it's just the kids alone, even just Dp.
for instance, it was DD's birthday weekend. Megan demanded that mil had to go see her where she lives that weekend for no reason, when mil said no she couldn't as was her granddaughters birthday, Megan through a hissy fit. It was really strange.
just more recently, Megan was staying at mils for a week, the same week I had organised mil to have dd so I can take Ds to an appointment (I don't ask often) it was all sorted but Megan put a stop to it because she wanted alone time with her mum. I understanding wanting alone time but this has been organised.
Dp took the kids over to see mil and Megan that week too which was fine but she was a bit funny with Dp. Dp gives no reason for her to be like this..
on the same week, Megan actually suggested herself, Me, the kids and mil do something together. Then last minute messaged to say she now just wants it to be her and her mum. It was bizarre as she had initially suggested it, then bailed out.
Megan is in her thirties by the way, so I'm not talking about a stroppy teenager.
generally I've always got on well with her, but dp always said she can be quite difficult and I'm starting to see it more now. She lived abroad for a few years too so didn't see for a while.
I appreciate she doesn't live as close to mil as us but we probably see mil a couple times a month max.
we give her no reason to be jealous.
but occasionally (and it really is occasionally) either me or Dp will send a photo of the kids to the family chat, she instantly starts sending photos of herself or what she's up to to me at a look at me instead kind of thing.
has anyone else had this kind of thing?
she seems to be the Golden child of mil - out of 5 of them. The other 3 are not like this at all, in fact the total opposite. Dp is the inky
One with kids!
