[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand your agony, OP. I would tell your DH to speak with the grandparents and ask them to send a small toy to your son if they are going to send flowers to your daughter.

But I agree that sending roses to a preschooler is crazy! I'm sure she has no interest in them! Why don't they send toys to both kids?? [b]Sexism starts early.[/b][/quote]

Why can't OP tell her ILs directly?

[b]I hate that crap of having to go through the husband to get to the ILs.[/b] OP's a big girl.  If she's pissed, she should handle it.

Yes, indeed sexism starts early, eh?  How ironic . . . [/quote]

It's each spouse's responsibility to deal with his or her own parents. It doesn't mean OP isn't a big girl. It means husband has to be man enough to do his job and deal with his parents if they need dealing with. Not just in this case but any case. And if there's an issue with the wife's parents, she deals with it. All the posts on here from people with in-law troubles could be lessened if their spouses just dealt with their own parents.[/quote]
