Buying for one child, not the other (non-birthday!!!)

[rrah]

Everyone's hurt feelings, etc. are probably long gone. This thread is 3.5 years old.

I think MIL is an AMAZING woman for babysitting the illegitimate child. ODS should know MIL is YDS grandma. Doesn't ODS have a grandma too? Does she treat the boys the same.
What about the illegitimate child's family? If the illegitimate child's family is not around or does not help, kindly explain that to your MIL. I am sure she would understand and restrain from buying expensive gifts on no occasion. In my opinion you are the bad guy and your husband must be weak minded. Only the half they have in common, needs to treat them the SAME. Instead of putting all your mistakes on your MIL plate take responsibility for your illegitimate child. Get out of your husbands ear and stop trying to tear MIL away from her son and grand-baby. She doesn't have to love your bastard baby as much as she loves her flesh and blood. If you don't want the older son around her then keep him away. I'm sure MIL wouldn't mind.

I love the irony of simultaneously calling the kid "dear son" and "bastard."

Maciesmom, I'm guessing this hateful poster is the MIL, trying to justify her awful, disgusting behavior.
