[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone ever realised they just don't like their in laws and accepted it and dropped the rope?

for context my husband and I have been together for 14 years. Married nine. Just had our second child together. his parents never really welcomed me. They didn't acknowledge me for the first year of our relationship and didn't even say congratulations when we got engaged.

After the second baby was born they've offered the bare minimum of help. They stayed with us after the baby was born and I was up cooking and cleaning for them five days post c section while they sat on the couch and watched tv. any request for help (physical childcare or financial help) was met with a response of "it's your responsibility". Eventually they agreed to give us some financial help (bear in mind these people are worth tens of millions of dollars).

We both have good jobs but the cost of childcare around here is astronomical. We've never asked them for money until now and it's just a short term request for help. It's just the attitude behind it is so bad!

Also my FIL refers to me as "the mother" when talking about the children. Apparently I don't even have a name!

anyway I'm just at the point where I'm done with them. My husband can facilitate the relationship with them. I can't even be bothered to answer their FaceTime calls. Maybe this is poor DIL behaviour but when people treat you so indifferently and disrespectfully for so many years- it's hard to muster up the energy to care anymore.

I did. I stopped visiting them after 20 years of putting up with their nonsense. Did not go to either FIL or MIL funerals. No contact with the siblings. DH and I are happy.[/quote]
