Question - (8 November 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 9 November 2007)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I have tried getting along with my in-laws but I cant. I hate them to be very honest. They show favoritism between our children and it is ruining our marriage. I love my husband but he doesn't seem to see anything wrong with what they are doing. They are keeping in touch with his exes and rubbing it in my face, they play favorites between my step-son and our biological son. I think they hate me but are to afraid to express how they feel about me and my son. What should I do, I am so unhappy. We live very close to each other I am considering moving far away from the in-laws.

A female reader, uhuh...right United States +, writes (9 November 2007):

I say move. What's better than a little distance? Is your husband ok with moving? Really though ... a little distance can be a great thing. Otherwise, I would let my husband know, which you have, and then I would protect myself accordingly. I would try my best not to put myself or my child in the situation. If it means less visits, then so be it. After there seem to be consequences for their actions (your in-laws actions and your husband's ignoring them) maybe they will feel it necessary to change some things. I'd like to think that we live in a world where we could all sit down and consider the feelings of others and consider the consequences of these actions (especially to your child) and decide to change, but the reality is that some people are selfish. When those types of people see a consequence, then you will know if they are willing to change, even if it is for their own selfish reasons.

I also hate my in laws coz i am in the same situation as you i have a son from another relationship and they don't like him. make your feeling clear to them and get your husband to have a word with them about your situation and how u feel like they are treating you children differently and tell them if they don't start treating them the same u will take both of the kids away from them
