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.
