[quote=Anonymous]You walk the line between supporting that it is a difficult situation while also setting boundaries in how she is treating you and the kids. It’s okay to be upset, it not okay to take it out on you and the kids and diminish what should be a joyous occasion of your oldest graduating. Your wife can’t control her parents decision. There is a fundamental parenting mindset of what is fair - is it concentrating time and money on the kid that “needs the most” (not a special needs situation) or trying to roughly help or not help all your kids equally even if it looks a little different for each kid. DW isn’t going to change the mindset of her parents, all she can do is be different for your own kids in what she feels is the way to handle things and figure out how to let go of the resentment that will only poison her joy. The only thing I will add is that in showing support don’t gloat about your family and listen and don’t criticize her family. [/quote]
