So my mother in law has been going on about how excited she is for her first grandchild but I have a daughter and we're in the process of my boyfriend adopting her. He's been around since she's been born. His mom goes on about how much she's going to spoil and love her new grandson and it makes me mad because I can tell now that she's going to make a difference with my kids. I don't know if it's mean but as long as she does that, I don't want either of my kids around her. My daughter doesn't deserve that.
@missalexisnicole I'm sorry that it was that way for you. That's why I don't want either of my kids around his mom because I don't want her to feel anything else but wanted by family.
I was in this same situation, but I was the adopted big sister! My dad adopted me and when my mom and dad had my little sister, she became favored. Now I have a terrible relationship with my dad's whole side of the family. It's changed a little since I've gotten pregnant (they're SLIGHTLY more involved. Not much though), but it still sucks. My sister is the golden child on that side and then she feels bad, almost guilty because she sees how they treat me
You need to talk to your mother in law and let her know how you feel. You need to let her know that she can't treat one child different than other even if the other child biologically her grandchild.
Omg she should especially know she shouldn't be acting like that cus she's been thru it, I don't get ppl like that but yes kids pick up on everything especially on how they get treated wish you the best of luck for you and your family and only you know what to do to make your life and little family happy (:
@paulina1223 his mom adopted him so I don't understand how she can act like my daughter isn't part of their family. But you're right, she's a smart kid and she'd pick up on that.
Exactly. It sucks, and your daughter will most likely go through times where she feels like she's not wanted. I used to sit there and wonder why I was so easily thrown away by my real dad and then my adopted dad's family. Now that I'm an adult, I know better but it sucked as a kid. You can prevent that with your little one 💕
