Mother Day

Rainman17's picture

I had a Mothers Day get together yesterday with my daughter and her husband and my Mom and Dad. My DH and our two sons. My DH sat across the table from my daughter he did not even acknowledege that she was there. The same with my son-in-law. I confronted my DH about it when we got home he did not have any valid reason for his poor behavior. But he has told me in the past that he does not like our daughters husband. So, for some twisted reason it gives him permission to be a complete snob when he is around them. I have always had a really hard time with the way my husband acts towards them. His behavior at these family functions puts a certain bad vibe in the air and makes everyone else very uncomfortable.So, I have decided that the next family get together we have I will not be including my DH.
I need to save my sanity right?

If he was a step kid, you'd be bitching that he was rude. So why did you not call him out on his behavior until afterwards?

Your husband may have the same feelings about your daughter that many SUSAN here have about their adult SDs.

Clearly he loved/liked her at one point or he would not have adopted her. That doesn't mean his current feelings aren't valid. In the future instead of making everyone uncomfortable, he should just tell you to visit with your daughter and SIL outside of the house without him.

He's being a total ass. If a grown adult man cannot manage to say hello and be civil he should just stay home.

I think my SS30 is one of the most disgusting worthless POSs ever known to mankind. I avoid any events with him. But when I am around him for a few minutes I can be polite and I can participate in normal small talk. And yes I can even manage to do that without a scowl on my face.
