[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take the 'MIL is rich' out of this and would you really question your feelings? For your DH - his nannies and drivers employer is coming for a visit (since you are saying they raised him) - so take that level of emotional expectation to all interactions. You have no rights to her decisions as to how she spends her money and though you'd love assistance with tuition - your family probably does benefit from her donations whether you know it or not. You can feel sad that she has decided to continue her life of emotional detachment but expecting her to be closer to your son than she was with her own is silly.[/quote]

I am resentful for a lot of reasons and certainly not spending time with my son tops the list. I'd be lying if I said the money stuff didn't bother me. I wish it didn't but it does. She donated a playground in the name of my niece and pays her tuition as well as my nephews and the parents are very well off. She also supports my brother in law and his family and bought them a cute house. She openly admits that she treats her children differently. But seriously I know - I need to get over it!

PP whose FIL was similar how did you get over it? [/quote]
