So just got back Dubai with DD (2.5 years old) and DH, plus BiL, his wife, wife’s mother, two kids aged 11 and 8, fil and mil. It was never going to be a simple family trip with that many people…
Anyway DD adores her 8 year old cousin, he plays very well with her and loves her to pieces. They sit together at breakfast for day one and two, on day three he sits next to his mum, and DD asks him to come sit next to her, he ignores her, I asked him why doesn’t he sit next to our DD, the 11 year old answers and says their mum told him he was not allowed to and if he did he was not allowed to go to the water park! BIL, FIL, MIL all heard as they were all present at the breakfast table! DH, Sil and her mother was not at the table at that point! I was shocked, sad and upset but didn’t say anything, told DH after breakfast back in hotel room. He confronted them, and she’s replied back saying she just wanted to spend some time with her son on holiday!
she’s put her two DC with her mother in a room in the hotel, went to the mall three times without the kids, did spa… the list goes on! I also think she’s never liked me as my DH goes on boys trip once or twice a year and always asked his brother but she’s always put her foot down but I encourage my DH to go so in return I get to go on girls trips! I see her once a month at family gatherings and I always say hi but she’s always in her phone and doesn’t bother.
Im I over thinking this or is she really that toxic?
