Re: "Second Best" to SIL
Seriously!?! I agree with all the PPs. You need to take a look in the mirror and figure out why you need your ILs to fuss over you in order for you to be happy and feel good about yourself.
And secondly...you're not their daughter. You are their DIL. So I don't know why you're so upset that they supposedly favor their own daughter over you. Especially since it doesn't seem to be bothering your H, since he is only bothered that your bothered.
I totally understand how you feel. I also understand what everyone else posted, however every situation is different. My ILs do the same thing with my SIL, it is very fustrating because she is so dependent on them, they just feed into her because they are selfish for always wanted to feel needed. Maybe you are like me, and come from a more welcoming, non-favoriting family, who dosent put their own children on pedastols. I dont have a lot of family at all, and thought i would feel welcomed and part of the family (especially since i was with DH for 8 yrs before marriage)...they just keep themselves very clicky. Just remember to keep your head up and treat others the way you want to be treated. Family is not only blood, it is who you make it to be.
