Oh and MIL not once held Kelsey. NOT ONCE.

jamie4duke

She barely acknowledged her.  She asked Teagan what Santa brought her, and that's it.  The rest of the time it was all about Caitlin.

your MIL=devil incarnate...how can you NOT hold your granddaughter?! My parents couldn't get enough of all the kiddos!

That's a good thing.  Then, there is no feeling of "give me my baby back" because she walked away with her into the other room.

I know it sucks, and your MIL is a real piece of work, but trust me, you are the winner in this situation.

Your MIL is such a wench!  I don't think I could be in the same room with Kelsey without wanting to cuddle her.

I reallllllly don't like your MIL.  I can't imagine how you feel.    I'm so sorry Jamie.

Exactly!!  My mom was loving on the girls like you wouldn't believe!  Why is MIL like this?  I don't get it!

I keep telling myself this too.  I just wish it didn't hurt me like it does.

What a fvcking b*tich........who is Caitlin (I'm assuming your niece)....WTF is wrong with you nasty ass MIL??

brideofscowboy

Your MIL is a real piece of work.  But, if she's so rotten, would you really want her to hold your daugther?

I mean yes, we'd all like our children to have great relationships with their grandparents, but it doesn't always work out that way. 

We have major issues with the FIL, and I am relieved and happy when he's not around.

Me too.  Oh, hey I found out a friend of mine is pregnant, and I think she is almost exactly as far along as you are!!!

I am so sorry, that is really crappy. Has your DH said anything to her? My MIL who has seen my DD 4 times since she was born, claimed she was "being bratty" when Delaney cried when she tried to pick her up.  Umm lady she doesn't know you from Adam, chill.  Maybe tell your DH that since she so prefers her other grandchild maybe it is best to not get together with her until she can show all her grandchildren love.

Yeah Caitlin is my niece.  Apparently MIL's only grand daughter.  She got a pic with Caitlin...ONLY Caitlin by herself, and none with any of the other grandkids by themselves.  Isn't that sweet.

I really hate hearing this...Our kids do not deserve favoratism sooo not fair! I have it in my family too. I really hate it!

SWMcFarland

It hurts because it feels like a rejection.  My IL's just saw Lily for the first time over the holidays (they did meet her when she was a day old in the NICU).  I understand wondering why they didn't want anything to do with her--she's their only grandchild, and is as cute as pie.

But, when they wanted her, guess who she wanted?  Me.  So it wouldn't have mattered if your MIL wanted K or not--kids can sense things.  So K would have only wanted you anyway!!

((Hugs)).  It sucks, but your MIL is like this because she knows she can't control your lives with money like she does with your BIL.

I would rather not be around her at all, ever.  And I do my best not to, but it's funny, cuz she will biitch to everyone else but us about the fact that we don't come around or call.  Why on earth would we when you don't even pay attention to our kids???  It's crazy how she acts.

If it makes you feel any better, if I was ever with Kelsey, I would never put her down. You would have to fight me to get that baby back.

Squee!!  Congrats to her!  Do you know her EDD?  Mine is 7/13

She's obnoxious. I sentence her to a lifetime of reading inane 1st tri posts as punishment for her sins.

No he hasn't said anything to her yet  He said he didn't want to make a scene but honestly I think he just doesn't want to cause problems.  MIL has a tendency to completely shut people out when she knows she is in the wrong.  She didn't speak to her parents for like 15 years because of some issue they had.  Whatever...I told DH if she stopped talking to us now, how would that be any different than what it is like now?

I think it is the 15th but I will have to ask her again.
