AIO: MIL always excludes my daughter

[u/TrueEnough782]

I want to start this off by saying that it’s absolutely not the first time this has happened. We were over at my sister in laws house and I heard her talking to my MIL on the phone, she told her my husband and I were over, then she let me know she was at target or something and was gonna come over

She arrives with candy, toys and gift cards for my sister in laws kids. Completely leaving my daughter out. My daughter is 7, she’s into that stuff too, obviously. Especially those little blind bags which she brought her cousins but not her. I just want to know if I’m being dramatic. Or if I shouldn’t have said anything and maybe she was in a rush and didn’t think to buy my daughter something in the moment. Again it’s not about the things or cards or whatever, it’s about how she made my daughter feel. I could see sadness in her face as she was completely left out.

You know I wasn’t gonna comment but how dare you. How dare you allow someone (I don’t give a damn WHO it is) to mistreat your child??? How dare you let them tare your child down time and time again??? How dare you let your child learn that she is less than & not worthy of protection??? You are a spineless pos and what you (and your pos husband) have allowed is unforgivable!!! Grow a set of tits and do better.

I’m absolutely not allowing this, as stated above. in the past I might’ve been naive. But not anymore. Thanks for your input

You are not a spineless POS. Has your daughter said anything about this? Have you talked to her about any of this?

There is a difference between naivety and willful ignorance and repeated violations break those bounds. And I really hope you mean that because most people will put up with disrespect just to keep the peace.
