OMG I am furious

I do not have a good relationship with my mom between her taking advantage of me, favortism over my neice and not treating my kids good, etc. I moved far away from her and don't have anything to do with my family which has made me and my girls happier

I had my sister in law added to my friends list on Myspace. I don't like her but hadn't deleted her off it until today. She sent me a message today saying how my mom just bought my niece a really nice laptop computer and how my mom said she was going to buy all the kids one eventually.

This has just made me irate. I wish my sil never said anything. My mom had bought my niece a new swingset a long time ago saying she would buy my daughter one when she got older.....never happened. She bought my niece a new bunkbed saying she would buy my daughter one when she got older.....never happened.

I deleted my sil so I would have no communication with my family because I just get ticked off hearing about this stuff.

my father in law has done this with my son and now that my son has a child he is still doing it. but he does everything for my sister in laws kids. it really hurts but what can you do? people like that can rot in hell. he is a stupid obnoxious piece of crap anyway. it is their loss not ours.

It's sad to say but it sounds like you leaving your faimily behind is the best thing for you. Don't let your Mom's actions get you down, if you do she wins. How a parent or grandparent can treat one child so much better than another is beyond me. You and your kids are better off away from her. Prayers and hugs.

Hugs to you, that's awful. We've had a little of that in our family. It's not fun at all.

Guess I would have to ask myself. Why did she say anything if she knew it would upset you? Not very considerate.

It sounds as though she enjoys rubbing it in abit. This behavior comes with low self esteem. You are the better person and don't need your children around that environment anyway.

I've always been in this boat with my parents. Not so much on them buying things, but with giving their time. My sister's kids are the in thing with my parents. They both play sports and my parents bust their butts to get to every single game, even when they are sick. My dad will leave work early, rush home, etc. to get there.

Because my kids don't play sports, they get left out. Saturday was dd's first prom. I invited them to come over and see her after she was ready but did they come? Nope! My neice having yet another softball game was more important. She has at least three every week so missing ONE for another grandchild's big event wouldn't have killed them!

My brother is a loser and my parents have always kept his kids on weekends alot, given him money that was supposed to be a loan but they knew they'd never get back,etc. Even now his boys get to go up there for a weekend at least once a month while mine go about 3 times a year.

They give my sister stuff all the time. They gave her my grandfather's car, paid for her divorce, etc. When they decided to sell their old car last summer they sold it to me, for 1000.00! My brother owes them 12,000.00 that they will never see and sister got a free car, but I have to pay for mine!

Do what you have to do to feel at peace! Even if that means cutting your family out of your life! HUGS!
