Concur with the Brother's point of view (imaginary though it may be, it's probably not far from the truth), and let me add that I've read the SIL's point of view MANY times on these boards!

Title of post:
Favoritism from MIL
Text:
Wondering what to do, if anything, and how to get over the hurt. I've done my best over the years to get along with my rather overbearing MIL and SIL, particularly as MIL is quite generous. However I can't bear her favoritism of her daughter and her daughter's child anymore, over my husband and our children. They live close to her and basically use her like a free babysitter, we live far away and my children don't have that loving relationship I would have wanted with their Grandma. MIL is constantly making plans with her daughter, includes us at the last minute and then we either have to scramble or look like ungrateful idiots. I tend to worry and get anxious about things, plus I've just had a baby and can't handle this new international trip they've been planning. It seems like such a wonderful opportunity yet I know we'll be second fiddle everywhere and be constantly compared to perfect SIL with her one perfect child. Ugh. Help, DCUM?

A little introspection is in order, OP.
