I Have Issues With My Mother In Law

She favors her first born. Overtly. It's disgusting. Next in monster-in-law's hierarchy of favoritism are the baby-makers. Then comes her only single child (age 35) who has to be told when to buy new t-shirts, shoes and toothbrushes. Then comes my husband, who, by most accounts, is accomplished and independent, smart and worldly.

I know what you're going to say. She just wants to feel needed. I can respect that. I understand what that's like. But she is needed. Everyone, child and adult, needs their mother. My husband attempts to talk to her on a weekly basis, only to be told she is so busy, she can't talk. I think she can express her desire to be needed without playing favorites.

If your husband is by most accounts accomplished, independent, smart and worldly, you MIL is not blind to that and for that reason she concentrates her efforts on her children that still need her "Help" it is not favortism, it is that her Main "Job" is done, why mess with a good thing!
be thankful she is not so involved in your lives that you feel like your married to her as well.
