What a surprise - the inlaws stood us up again pt 2

FIL messaged DH asking if he was mad at him and DH ended up calling and talking to him about the perceived favoritism. FIL ended up being tearful and apologetic even though he argued DHs points a little bit. He supposedly didnt know some of the stuff with MIL and SIL. He did give away though that SIL is bitter that we haven't been using her as a photographer (and I'm sure MIL is upset about it too).

My thought on this is that FIL did know about things to a certain extent, but somewhat bought MIL and SILs reasoning or just thought it wasn't causing issues and went along with it to avoid making waves. And then felt guilty when DH got upset and called it out.

Update: SD just told me she talks to all of the inlaws on messenger kids when shes at BMs. So in other words all of this BS about how they never get to see or hear from her is just that. Theyre in contact with her all the time and still cant be bothered to see the other kids.

Well, now that FIL knows,

Well, now that FIL knows, what's he going to do about it?

I'm just flabbergasted that folks behave this way to CHILDREN. Sure, it hurts you and DH, but it's your kids - THEIR GRANDKIDS - who end up losing out on the family connection and who feel like they did something wrong.

I can't deal with these overly dramatic adults.

That's what I dont get either

That's what I dont get either. Okay SIL is mad at me for not using her as a photographer. So she doesnt invite my kids to her kids birthdays? Wth

Ugh, I love how men always

Ugh, I love how men always play the "dumb" "didn't know" excuse because they would rather keep their head in the sand and follow the past of least resistance. Such a weak excuse! Of course they didn't show up again. At this point how can they even pretend that they don't favor step brat!?!?!

LOL, oh poor widdle SIL's fee fees are hurt b/c you don't do strange photo shoots with her. Has she ever even asked to include your kids....or just SD? Cause it seems like she has only asked and invited SD for her weird photo shoots...
