X-mas+inlaws=livid already!

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

So my inlaws invited themselves down to our house for a whole 6 days, arriving today. As I've posted before my MIL is obsessed with my niece who is 3 (1st grandchild), and now my nephew who is 5 months (1st boy in the fam), and basically treats them both totally different than my daughter.

So tonight they get to our house just as my BIL, SIL, niece and nephew were leaving-like literally walking out of my house through the front door. My MIL and FIL came in through our garage. MIL practically RUNS in the house passes me and DD without even saying hello and is yelling out the door "Bring them back, I want to see them." SIL says they are already in their carseats and they can see them tomorrow morning to come over whatever time. MIL then comes back in the house looks pissed and just says "HI Guys..........O Hi Katie." Doesn't hug her, pick her up, kiss her......nothing. They live 6 hours away and haven't seen her since October!!!! Then tells me "Wow, can't believe you are showing already." Wrong thing to say after you ignore my kid!!!!!

 I am just livid, am I being unreasonable or would this annoy anyone else?? I just am so mad she does this to my daughter.

    Wow, sorry to hear that! I definitely don't think you're being unreasonable. If a family member treated my dd that way it would make me very angry and also hurt.  Are the grandchildren from her daughter or son? Not that it  should make a difference, anyone who treats a child like I will never understand! Hope you make it through the next 6 days without too much drama.

    Yep that is crap.  I know how you feel and I am so sorry.  Tristen and his cousin are 14 months apart and MIL clearly favors her not T.  Plus she watches her FOR free 4 days a week while SIL+ BIL work. 

    Does DH notice?  I'd say something to him.

    Ask which hotel they will be staying at. Better yet, send her over to SIL's house. She'll be happier there anyway.

    Its her son's kids. I am so mad right now. I haven't said anything to DH, I know he is stressed out that they are even here, and he has a ton of stuff due for work by tomorrow so I know he is going nuts trying to get it done. I really REALLY am having a hard time not telling him though!

     Thank GOD they are staying at a hotel at least tonight and tomorrow night then staying here Christmas Eve and the rest of the time which is totally ruining my Christmas this year.

    I wish the trip hadn't started out like this.........!

    That sucks. And is totally unacceptable. Since your DH is busy and so stressed right now over work, I'd talk to him tomorrow once that is over. Something absolutely needs to be said to your MIL, and I guess your DH is the one who should handle it. Good luck with the rest of their stay!
