I totally get where you are coming from. I am white and my husband is Hispanic. When we first got together his mom got soooo mad at him! She wouldn't even let me stay the night with him when he moved back home to help out after his dad passed. Which I understood and respected until a year later his younger brother got a Hispanic girlfriend and she moved in! It has gotten a little better since we have had kids but I can tell she still doesn't fully accept me. Good luck, I feel your pain!
sports mom, you hit the nail on the head! I do not doubt that they would be a little, very little, nicer if we had children but I would not want my kids around her. Second when his brother has kids then mine would be tossed away, and of course she may not like our "mixed" children at all. She places a great emphasis on race.
I have been trying to ignore them completely but since mu husband never says anything to them about their behavior I am beginning to see his family when I look at him, and I hate it! We get along so well otherwise! I hate them so much! My family has always been so good to him, they treat him like a son, but he does not even hardly talk to them either (they always ask me why he is so quiet) and he expects me to go all out for his family? beyond frustrated.
Is it normal to be treated bad by inlaws while others are not?
