[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. I love my life and my DH.  Affirmation would be nice, a pat on the head for being stable, happy and self-sufficient. But it won't happen. DH works in an industry she doesn't "respect". Sigh.  The favorite is gunning for inheritance, clearly, we are not interested in competing. [/quote]

OP, I get it.  Not sure why everyone is being so snarky about you caring.  It would be painful.[/quote]

NP here.   I get it too.  It is in your face and wrong.  Some people are just miserable hags, OP.  You can't change her.  My MIL favors the least capable in the family, because she thinks they "need it".  Yuck.[/quote]

NP, I totally get it too, OP.  DH and I are both clearly the not-favorites to our parents but for exactly opposite reasons (I "will be okay w/o them" and BIL is aparently just way cooler than we are).  It sucks, frankly, especially when it is all undeserved.  Things on both sides have come to a head in the past couple years and we've decided to just disengage as much as possible, keep the peace when it's called for, and enjoy the benefits of "flying under the radar."  It helps that we both feel the same way about the situation so we can laugh and joke about it together.[/quote]
