[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, how do your parents treat you? Whatever you mentioned about the wedding for example is something that the bride's parents would do. Why would you want your MIL's veil?[/quote]

OP here. I'm very close to my parents and my parent's world revolves around us. I'm sentimental and wanted something borrowed for my wedding. I didn't have a veil yet and my MIL had mentioned how she still had hers, but then she decided not to let me borrow it. It wasn't a big deal and it's not like I was nagging her to let me wear her heirloom veil. My parents helped with a downpayment (15k) instead of a wedding.

I've tried hard to foster a good relationship with my MIL and with her grandkids. She got to be in the delivery room since I really wanted my mom in there and I wanted it to be fair. I'm just jealous of my SIL's wedding and how much attention they get. It's petty I know. [/quote]

It's great that you are trying to be fair with your in-laws, but you are not their daughter, so to expect to be treated just like their daughters is unrealistic.  It's not to say that you can't be close to your MIL, but your relationship is fundamentally different than the one she has with her daughters.  [/quote]
