Today, my husband got a vasectomy. My mother-in-law is extremely upset that he only gave her one grandson. Guess my other son doesn't count. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dad told me that after my two older siblings were born, he got a vasectomy. However, something went wrong, and the vasectomy had failed, resulting in me. FML
Today, I found out that the reason I hadn't gotten pregnant yet was because my husband had a vasectomy after the birth of his son. He even had the nerve to continously tell me, "it'll happen soon, baby" and let me believe we were trying. FML

Today, I found out I'm pregnant. My husband had a vasectomy this past summer after our son was born and only took one of the two tests. I haven't cheated. He refuses to believe me or get his spunk checked again. FML
Today, I mustered up the courage to tell my son that I would not be attending his sixth wedding. He responded by cutting access to my grandson. FML
Today, I found out my wife is pregnant. The problem is she convinced me to get a vasectomy two years ago. FML
Today, I found out that yet again I'm having twins. Sounds great and all, but the only problem is that my mother-in-law is the one pregnant. Oh boy, I'm fucked! FML
Today, I found out my wife is pregnant with our third child. This wouldn't be a problem but we only want two kids and I had a vasectomy 6 weeks ago (they take 3 months to be effective). We weren't careful only one time, and since it was difficult to conceive the two we wanted, we didn't think it would be a problem. FML
Today, my mother still refuses to acknowledge my son as her grandson, all because I had a C-section, which she says is unnatural and against God's will. I only had the C-section in the first place for health reasons. FML
Today, my mother-in-law asked me when my fiancé and I were going to start having children. When I told her we weren't planning on having any, she went on a tirade about how selfish and cold I am for denying her precious grandchildren. Now she hates me. FML

That's kind of rude. But you know what OP? If she decides to be a hag, let her be a hag.

Lighten up OP, you can't force your mother-in-law to love your other son. But, if she's going to do that asshole thing where she covets your son with your husband while ignoring the other child (buying her "real" grandson things, but not buying things for your son, or taking the "real" grandchild on fun trips but leaving your son at home, etc.) then keep BOTH your sons away from her. My actual blood-related grandmother did that shit with my older sister and I, because she was the favorite grandchild. She would take my sister out everywhere and leave me at home every time; she'd buy my sister better presents at Christmas than me-- she'd even buy my sister presents on MY birthday at my birthday party, and give them to her in front of me. That doesn't feel very nice, so don't let her do that sort of thing to your son! >:(

I used to have a Monster in Law myself. FYL indeed! Sorry to hear it OP. You could try being incredibly nice to her in the hope of a magical guilt-induced transformation ... or just accept she'll always be a bitch! Good luck either way!

I completely agree. I have lived through this for the last 15 years. I'm about to be 27 and my stepfathers parents don't treat me and my sister like family. My stepdad didn't want to have kids because he already had me and my sister in his life. Well his parents didn't like that. We only get greetings on Christmas. We have never gotten presents. All of their other grand children (7 other grandkids) are all priority. They refused to come to my high school and college graduation. Same with my sister. They would rather stay an hour away. But when it came time for the others to graduate they bought tickets immediately. OP don't let her go this to your first kid. It is detrimental to him growing up and how it'll make him feel. If she doesn't knock it off soon then you need to keep her out of y'alls life.

They ARE their grandparents, just not by blood. When you marry, you basically adopt the others children as yours. Family doesn't have to be blood.

She's a vile human being.

Mother in law is a big fat C U Next Tuesday and most likely will end up treating your three year old differently to his face. Probably need to re-evaluate this reconnection: you and the kids stay away while the husband can see his mom cause she's still his mom, even though she is incredibly selfish and has warped familial values.

He should stand up to her and let her know she cannot be involved in your life. My husband had to set his mom straight when she was rude to me, and informed her our life will be fine without her in it. Especially since you have children, you need to stand up for the both of them. Your husband adopted your son, which also makes it his. She can get on board with your family or she can go and stay gone. Your husband is a big boy and should stand up for both of his sons, and you.

I would say it's time to change the phone numbers, and put out the your not welcome sign

Then watch as she puts up a sign of her own, saying "*you're".

Indeed. Unfortunately, a lot of people find others not having kids offensive for one reason or another and complain about it, just because they made a different choice.

Wait, what did she say wrong if your other son has another father? If she likes and accepts your other kid, does that mean she must automatically forget that his father is another guy?
Nyattack 14
Yeah, exactly ! Some details are missing here, but why does OP feel entitled to claim that her son from another father should count as her mother-in-law's grandson ? He doesn't have any of her DNA, and I'm assuming that's what she meant here (for her biological "lineage" to continue or something I guess). People have the right not to act as if non-blood related family members are related to them...

I suppose op wanted to integrate the families together to create a loving extended family for her children. Having your step-grandmother openly discuss that she doesn't really consider you part of her family is not going to make ops son feel welcome and secure in the family and at family gatherings. We don't know the circumstances around the sons biological father and that side of his family. Op and stepdad('s family) might be all that young boy has - can't blame op for being upset that the grandmother is rejecting him.

OP, from personal experience, grandparents are stubborn beings that never seem to accept anything but humans with bits of their DNA. So please protect your son and keep the woman away.
