[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were at the 25 year mark of marriage when FIL refused to leave a message for DH with me because “she’s not family”. The message was simply that their visit would be delayed a day. What was so top secret about that?! At that point I realized I would always be the outsider. [/quote] While I'm not close to my MIL either (FIL passed before I met DH), mostly because of her behavior during our wedding planning at which point I decided to drop the rope for good already, if they say you're not family, what do they think you are? A stranger? A colleague? A friend? It befuddles me how some MILs and FILs don't understand that access to grandkids goes through DILs. It's like shooting yourself in the foot or prying your own eye out. [/quote]
