A Reddit user banned her mother-in-law from seeing her grandchildren because of her attitude towards them
A Reddit user with the nickname Intelligent_Map mother-in-law to see grandchildren because of one fact. According to the woman, her husband's mother treats children differently: if she never showed interest in her grandson, she tries to spend as much time as possible with her granddaughter.
The author of the post noted that she is raising two children with her husband – a two-year-old son and a two-month-old daughter. “My mother-in-law did not visit her grandson in the first year of his life and did not even call to ask about his health. My husband and I sent her photos of our son and the latest news related to the baby, but she very rarely responded to our messages, ”the user complained.
The situation changed when the couple had a daughter. According to the woman, the mother-in-law began to visit them often. However, all her attention was focused on her granddaughter. “My son tried to play with her, but she answered him:“ Not now, I have your sister in my arms, ”she recalled. Also, as noted by the narrator, her husband's mother began to bring gifts for her granddaughter and never did it for her grandson.
After that, the narrator decided to have a serious talk with her mother-in-law. The woman set a condition for her: if she does not treat her grandchildren in the same way, then she will be forbidden to visit them. She explained that she did not want her son's psyche to suffer because of his grandmother. In response, the wife's mother called her ungrateful and left. Her close relatives took the side of the mother-in-law. “I was told that I should not separate my grandmother and granddaughter,” the woman wrote, specifying that she did not agree with them.
In the comments to the post, users advised the narrator not to listen to family members and trust only herself. “If you allow your mother-in-law to continue like this, she will ruin the lives of your two children. Your instincts are correct, despite the fact that others say differently, “- expressed the opinion of one of the users.
