I am not a mother in law but hopefully I will be some day. I have 2 kids whom hardly ever see my in laws. My In laws have never really liked me. I dont even know why, the only thing i can come up with is I took there only boy away and made him a family man. Idk! But anyways, I have 2 sister in laws whom between the both of them have 9 kids, that all visit them, stay the night, go shopping w/ them, go on vacation with them. And my 2 kids nothing. They have never ever even stayed the night with them, no shopping trips, crap no b-day cards, we get are x-mas presents well after x-mas hell 1 year we got them in feb. and then they actually looked at the kids and said well we didnt get to see you over the holidays so we didnt give you what we gave the other kids...WHAT...What the hell who does that says that, My kids would have never known any differently so why say anything!!!! Ya I 'd say my in-laws take it out not liking me on my kids.
