[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry you're going through a hard time but there's nothing wrong with them going on vacations and posting about it. They worked really hard for many decades and are now enjoying themselves. Hide their feed if it makes you feel bad. They don't owe you anything.

Have you considered getting part time work, consulting, tutoring, your DH being the SAHP and you working full time?[/quote]

I have considered it, of course. But we will not earn much on my income, I am not nearly as well-educated as DH and I don't have that many years of experience, which is something ILs have made comments about. Yes, they told DH he married down. We made a conscientious decision that I would be a SAHM, take our kids to preschools, therapies. DH is consulting here and there but it is not a stable income and our DC's therapies are not covered by insurance. We haven't been out in ages, I am just so out.

I get it, they don't owe us anything. They paid for their DC's education, helped them get a start in life. I get it, I don't measure up to them, they wished their DIL was someone from their community, a better educated woman, with more ambitions in life than being an SAHM. But do at least reach out to your children. Ask them how they are doing. Take them out for coffee. [/quote]
