[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe you could try to put yourself in her shoes? As a step MIL myself, I would be extremely hurt if I thought my DIL did not consider me to be any relation to her daughter! It is possible to love a child that you are not biologically related to. And different people show love in different ways. I can't know what your MIL's motivation is, but I know that my husband and I feel a tiny bit competitive with the other grandparents because we don't get to see our granddaughter as much, and we sometimes try to make up for that with gifts, although we usually ask what they would like us to give first.

But we see them the most because they live the closest, so I don't know why she has be to so competitive.  Also she gets the title of grandma but my mom has to go by a nickname to distinguish herself from my husband's mom and step mom who are both referred to as grandma.  I feel like I have to stick up for my side of the family because otherwise it gets lost in the shuffle. [/quote]
