[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is probably more going on here that OP doesn't realize. If MIL financially supports her other (well-off) kids, perhaps OP's DH made some choices MIL did not approve of, and MIL now wants him to live with the consequences? Or she lives closer to the other families and knows the kids better?
At any rate, it is what it is, and I wouldn't lose another minute worrying about it.[/quote]

I doubt it.  I know a family where the golden haired oldest son, a star athlete, could do no wrong and his parents gave him everything until his untimely death due to too much partying.  Meanwhile their smart, hardworking younger son, who was much less good looking, was totally ignored.  (This was also a rich society family.).   Sounds like the MiL is just an unpleasant perso. The type of person who would shun her SN preschool grandson is probably also the kind of person. That would draw arbitrary and unfair distinctions between her own children.  Maybe OPs husband is less good looking, or takes after the husband she always hated, or was the reason she had to stay in a marriage for longer than she wanted....it's likely nothing that is his fault.
OP, I sympathize with you.  I can see how this grates.[/quote]
