[quote=Anonymous]My MIL sucks. She is very self centered and really doesn't appear to care much for my husband or our family. My child is 3 and since he has been born she has spent maybe 4 hours total with him well maybe 6 hours, sorry. She is extremely wealthy like multi multi millionaire from a family business her parents and grandparents were in and she has never worked a day in her life. My husband was raised with drivers and nannys and she was extremely hands off. She lives a wonderful carefree life of travel and high society galas etc. she does not give us a DIME and even as my husband and I were transitioning careers and my husband asked for a loan, she refused and made him feel like a total irresponsible loser. She has never given our son anything but 3 outfits. She knows that we struggle financially and has never offered to assist with my son's school tuition but will write the school a donation/ check as his Christmas gift. Hence the tax write off she gets for his "gift". It's lovely that she gave to the school but if she gave it to the school for his tuition it would certainly help us tremendously but there is no tax write off in that. When she comes to visit she barely sees me or my son just my husband. It's apparent she doesn't care for me or my, as she says, unruly toddler. My son is very active and I think she doesn't know how to react to him. She is coming to DC to visit and her itinerary is - arrive Friday afternoon and have coffee/ alone time with my husband, dinner at 9pm with me and my husband. Saturday- brunch with my husband then back to our apt for an hour with my son. Then her and my husband will to go the African American museum and then dinner and the symphony with a friend. Sunday she leaves early in the morning and we will not see her. I told my husband before I knew of her itinerary that maybe we would go to a museum w a children's exhibit included or to the Baltimore Science Center since my son loves going. She has no interest in going to do children's activities according to my husband. I'm sad for my son as he has no idea who she is when we show him photos. She isn't kind when she's here and often insults me or makes snide remarks. I don't care for her at all but just feel sad for my son and my husband who feels bad she has no interest in her grandson. Should I really care or be thankful I don't have to spend a lot of time with her?[/quote]
