^ I think it's also an issue of maturity, quite frankly. The constant need to be a drama queen, to create issues where there are none, is very adolescent. Though I certainly know people who remain this way well into adulthood. I just tend to avoid them.
This is why I wish people would really think before marriage and children.
Sahar, a lot of people who like drama, hardly ever grow up. They may get busy now and then with other things, but their brain itches for drama ALL the time.
I have had one or two such people in my own life who make other people's lives hell... and quite frankly, they dont ever change.
^ yeah.. but on a side note. I think we're better than that. I know in my first post i said these people make others peoples lives hell.. but only if we let them i guess.
If we can look past their stupidity and their need for starplus actions, we can laugh at them.
Nadz, seriously... try to keep life simple. Dont worry about what so and so does to you or how they treat you differently. There is no way that we ourselves can treat each and every family member the same. We just cant. Its not that we like someone more or less... just relationships vary. If you want to be treated like your husband... or close to it, then how about you take the first step? Otherwise, stuff it... who really cares?
To be honest, what will happen next is, you're probably gonna say, "i did this and that... in the end i got nothing in return".
Focus on ur marriage, rather than the new rishte... focus on them too, but without getting too carried away with the nitty gritty stuff.
If you're that bothered by it, then take some positive steps to correct the problem. You could try doing something special for MIL and maybe that might soften her up.
But.....if you don't feel like doing that (and you're not obligated to).......then try to move past it. Your life has not become meaningless nor have you become a deprived woman just because MIL didn't give you a special send-off. You're alive.....you survived.....now move on.
Besides........is it better for MIL to give you a special send-off that is not sincere and where she's faking her happy feelings........and where you can see right through her???? Or would you prefer to see that she's being and showing who she is? Somehow, the first situation sounds more uncomfortable, lol.
and one more thing, the more things u pick at... the more of a distance u will create between urself and ur inlaws.. and potentially ur husband.
Get busy with work and stop thinking about such trivual and meaningless stuff.. Actually why not send your MIL some flowers or something if her birthday is coming up.. actually send something sweet on Eid... she'll appreciate it
