Name changed for this because lots of family members on here would be to revealing otherwise.
So basically my MIL has 6 Sons. My husband being the 5th son. I try so hard to keep MIL happy and involved in our lives i make an effort to see her once a week. she is elderly but lives with younger BIL and his wife and family. However i always feel like we have a nice relationship when there no one else around if that makes sense. Say for example its a family gathering the other BIL's wives are there she doesnt seem to acknowledge my existence but treats the others so nicely. I dont know why im letting it bother me so much we been married 5 years i should be used to it but its like she physically goes outif her way to demean me in front of others. We are from an asian backgroud. my marriage was arranged and our marriage is verh strong. when i speak to dh about it he tells me its just way his dm is and to ignore it not let it get to me. Anyway what set me off today is she went away on holiday for 2 weeks came back on friday we had family gathering today and after lunch she has been handing out gifts to everyone apart from me and my son. She even bought hubby a shirt matching the other brothers. she bought other SILs maxi dresses each and their kids tops. the worse thing about it is i actually really love her. i spent entire day on friday cleaning her house making sure new bedding on food in house cooked they got home late due to delays to flight. my DS absolutely adores her but she seems to really not like us not sure why? currently sitting in bathroom waiting for tears to subside maybe im reading to much into it all😞
