[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve known my ILs for going on 20 years.

They, in that time, can’t even remember basic facts about me, like my only sibling’s name or the fact that I have acid reflux disease and can’t eat spicy food.

They only have sons and they trash talk my BIL’s wife whenever they visit us, so I can only imagine what they say about me to them.

Their casual careless attitude toward ever learning anything about me extends to our children. They are only interested in our kids if one has accomplished something they perceive to brag-worthy. For years they’ve decided our daughter is a girly girl pink loving princess, when in fact she doesn’t like nail polish, pick, glitter, etc. But in their heads, she does and as a result, she’s now picked up on the fact that they know nothing about her either.

If my H doesn’t make an effort with them I’m certainly not, they’ve shown time and again that I’m not family to them. [/quote]
This could be me!

My MIL can’t be bothered to remember basic things about me. My mother is going through cancer treatment and she hasn’t once asked me how she is doing. That was the kicker. I’m done with this self-centered woman. I pretend to me more interested in people I meet waiting in line at the grocery store than MIL pretends to care about me.[/quote]
