Am I wrong?
Rant.
I feel like my niece is being treated differently than the other grandchildren. It’s annoying to me, and I was told other wise from my sister in law (she kinda got on my case about it). And then my mother in law asked me my opinion but then never let me explain my opinion lol. Let me explain and then you tell me if I’m crazy lol. I’ll change names.
My brother in law josh got a girl pregnant while him and his girlfriend split up while she went back home for the summer. The girl he got pregnant was an ex girlfriend, Linda. Well josh was so mad that she decided to keep the baby, and him and Linda got into big fights. Josh told the family that the baby was not his and Linda was crazy. Well the whole family was basically ordered, not to talk to Linda because that was josh’s business, and every one listened.. eventually I reached out because I knew that most likely the baby was his and I felt bad for her. She had the baby girl named Layla.
Only after I reached out and encouraged Linda to reach out to my in laws did my in laws talk to her. They ended up seeing Layla in the hospital and actually go to Linda’s house to see her. But what bugs me, I still feel like this baby has to be a secret, for the sole reason that josh decided to be a dead beat dad and everyone wants to protect him...
No one is aloud to post or share anything about Layla,
My oldest daughter was there visiting with my in laws and her great grandparents (the great grandparents still didn’t know about Layla even existing) and Linda told me there were plans made to go over the weekend before my daughter left and she was excited to have all the cousins together.
Well that day came and In the pictures I got Linda or Layla was not around.. so I asked why she wasn’t there and Linda told me that my in-laws asked to switch the day for later in the week but didn’t know why. Well, I know why, it’s because the great grandparents don’t know! That raised my blood pressure! Well I was mad and I was under the impression she already knew they didn’t know, and apparently she didn’t. She told me she felt like Layla was being left out and treated differently. I agreed. Well she told my mother in law how she felt and of course she took major offense to it and disagreed. And said that the great grandparents now know and was invited to see everyone late that night.
But was only invited after she said her daughter was left out and after their activities were over.. and personally I feel like they only told the great grandparents because Linda said something.
I just feel like in no way should this beautiful baby Layla be kept a secret, and I know social media isn’t everything, but if I want to share pictures of my new niece and my daughter together I should be able to. I feel like it was wrong for my in-laws to ask Linda to come another day.
My sister-in-law was mad because I guess when Linda told my mother in law how she felt it made her cry.. and it’s not true, Layla is treated the same. Then my mother in law asked me my opinion of the whole situation and I asked what part exactly, she just went on to defend why it’s acceptable for josh not to be around but told me she loved Layla before I got a chance to tell her.
I don’t think she doesn’t love Layla, I just feel like she is being left out and kinda kept a secret and I don’t think that’s fair.
