[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There have been many posts that seem to be the MIL venting about the DIL.

Now I am a  DIL with an issue. My husband and I have been married for 5 years. My MIL I feel sometimes forgets that my husband is married with a wife and that she has a DIL and I exist.

Examples of this being we will be flying somewhere and she will just text my husband to have a safe flight instead despite the fact that we are both flying and texting in a group chat to both of us have a safe flight.

When we come to visit she will just text my husband saying she is looking forward to seeing him again instead of simply texting both of us which isn't hard to do and takes zero effort and saying I'm looking forward to seeing you guys.

When we get her a gift for mother's day she will just text my husband to thank him.

When we flew up for her birthday she just texted my husband it was so great to see you instead of us both again despite the fact me her DIL was present as well.

I want my husband to address this slight to his mother as it will be perceived better coming from him.[/quote]

She is his mother, not yours.  Your own mother can text you to have a safe flight, etc.  There is ZERO slight.

Instead, if you really want to get closer to her, bring this up in conversation next time you speak to her.  Tell her hey, don't be a stranger.  I want to be more like pals and get texts from you from time to time too.  This will come off way better than your husband bringing your perceived grievance to his mom that you are mad.[/quote]
