[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m on team OP. If the step-MIL wrote on DCUM that her stepson’s wife sent her videos of the step grandchildren and she was withholding them from her husband, everyone would calling her the b-word.[/quote]

Maybe. But is [b]the step-MIL also included details around how step-DIL does not ask after her, express interest in her as a person, show genuine care but instead communicates directives and orders her around[/b] then no, I don’t think people would call her the b-word at all.

In fact I think people would advise her to draw a strong boundary. That she has been patient enough and that she needs to tell step-DIL directly what is not working and what she needs instead. And if things don’t change, then to create space in their relationship. [/quote]

Honestly, I don't see what the big deal is. Why should the step-DIL express interest in her when she's just the wife of the FIL and not the children's true grandmother? If I got messages like that, I'd roll my eyes, sure, but I wouldn't be pissy about it.[/quote]
