I’m annoyed on my DH’s half. He says he’s not bothered, I think he is but is not admitting it. I’m annoyed on his behalf and am on 2 minds to say something.
Here’s why.
My PIL MASSIVELY favour my DH’s sister.
We just invited MIL for a nice day out on mother’s day and she declined saying she’s spending it with her DD. There was no effort to make it a joint thing, or to pop in and see her in the morning or day before, nothing. The same thing happened last year on Father’s Day. In fact my FILs actual words were “I’ll let you know. I’m not sure what my DD is doing yet, and whether she’s got something planned for me. I’ll have to let you know”. I just sat there aghast. My DC ask my why their GPs don’t like their dad.
FYI my DH is lovely, kind generous, a great dad and DH.
The funny thing is my PIL complain that they don’t see much of DH, but the truth is they out rightly favour his sister and my DH has retreated a bit.
It really pissed me off. His DDis also relishes the golden child status. I just don’t get it as I don’t feel my parents favour one of their DC over the other and I go out of my way to make sure I don’t.
AIBU to think this is shit? Do I let my DH keep setting himself up to be a second class citizen or do I tell him to screen them, don’t bother.
