[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sadly my spouse has realized his parents have a favorite of the four & that he is not it.  I don't begrudge the parents liking one child more than the other, think it is human nature.  We both agree that his parents & the fav are clueless and have [b]a total lack of empathy in almost every situation[/b] not just this.  The favoritism is pretty mild (compared to stuff I've read on DCUM) but pervasive & does directly affect him.  Are you married to the favorite?  Does your spouse realize they are?  If spouse & parents are clueless, or even if not, do you try to do what you can to make things "fair.[/quote]

OP:

1.  Do you know what the word "empathy" means?  A total lack would make them sociopaths.  Not very likely.

2.  Are you the OP of the thread about being pregnant and the ILs not "on board."  If so, please focus on something else.  If not, please focus on something else.[/quote]

1.  Are you aware that slight exaggeration is often used, especially on DCUM.  Also, are you familiar with the word “almost?”  As in “almost every situation” as I stated above and which is accurate from my 10 years with them?

2.  No.  Seems you need to be the one to focus on something else.  You added nothing useful to the thread.  Gnats are worse than trolls, at least trolls are entertaining.  Gnats, like you, are just annoying.

So you slightly exaggerate by saying someone has a total lack of empathy?  That's hardly slight.  "Almost" isn't an appropriate qualifier.  See this kid is almost five:

But you are a grown up.  Time to act like one and stop wallowing about your meany in-laws.[/quote]
