Hey I’m wondering if anyone can help.
My MIL has two sons, they both got engaged last year (one to me!)
But the other DIL, she’s the favourite because she’s all cute and petite and quiet and foreign. Anyway, she got a family heir loom ring for engagement from our MIL, and I got nothing. And MIL says ‘you’ll get nothing until I’m dead’ but it wasn’t in a nasty way. Anyway, I’m actually really upset about this. Yes, I got a brand new shiny expensive engagement ring, but she got a meaningful family heir loom. :-(
How do I get over the crushing reality that I’m just not good enough and never will be for my new family? (Both her sons got married this year, which is why she’s MIL now!)
