Feeling left out

Todd&LauraTodd&Laura
in 1st Trimester

I'm on vacation with my husband, son, and my in laws. Kids and mil are in bed and everyone is in the hot tub except me. I took a shower, came back upstairs (hot tub is outside on deck) and overheard my bil make some remark about something related to me and my son followed by "Yeah, real great parenting..." I confronted my husband when he came in for drinks and he told me that they had just been talking about what a great mom I am and that I only heard one tiny part. Keep in mind that I just caught them and mil talking badly about us and our son a few months back (the last time we got together). I'm freaking pissed, crying, and sitting alone in our room. Am I being over-sensitive?  I still have the whole rest of this week to go. :(

    Oh honey I am so sorry! It really sucks when in-laws are that way. You are definitely not over sensitive, those sorts of things hurt peoples feelings and for them to just disregard your feelings is just horrible. I am very sorry, and I hope things get better. Try to enjoy your vacation the most that you can.

    I'm sorry :( I would hope that if they were speaking badly about you your husband would stick up for you, wouldn't he?

    this.  

    Hopefully it was just taken out of context.  What was the tone of it being said?  You can say that same sentence different ways and it can have a different meaning.

    Sorry momma. It sucks feeling like everyone is talking about you, especually if you suspect Dh didn't stick up for you. I would probably confront Bil alone and say something like "I couldnt help but overhear xyz last night and it really upset me bc I felt like it was said maliciously. Did I just hear it wrong?" But confronting him could backfire like you're accusing him, especially if he was being nice and not being rude, kwim? I hope your vaca goes better for you!!

    I once heard my Sil call me a loser while I was on my 1st vaca with Dh's family. That was over 10 yrs ago and I have a decent relationship with her now. GL girlie

    eta- she was calling both Dh and I losers,  so I could forgive her a little easier
