to get annoyed when my IL's attribute my children's good things to DH

[teabags]

I have 2 sons, DS1 is 2 and DS2 is just 4 weeks. The IL's in particular say how much they look like my DH. I have said that certain people have pointed out similarities to me but they dismiss it outright. Any time I comment on something good one of them may have done, they say DH was like that. Sometimes I just wish they would say, well done to me, but it seems my children have nothing to do with me at all and it really hacks me off! I know I should not worry about things like this but it grates me

I get this loads as well, not helped by the fact that I am adopted so DC can't be compared to my brother or parents. DD is the image of DH but DS doesn't look anything like that side of the family. MIL would desparatly look at him trying to find a likeness. In the end she said, 'I just don't know who he looks like' Helllooooo, maybe he looks like ME?!
