When dh and i finally got pregnant with our lo (im currently 26w) we were excited because this was our last try, my FIL asked if my parents were excited too.. and i told him that my dad had been talking my ear off about what kind of tree he wanted to plant for lo.
Bg- my dads family always plants a fruit tree for the grandkids, my grandpa had 25 trees and a 2 rose bushes, my dad currently has 2 trees one for my niece and nephew, and 4 roses bushes for my miscarriages.
Anyway as soon as i told fil he changed the subject, that was 10 weeks ago,
FF to just now.. its almost 8 eating leftover spaghetti from last night and watching the big bang theory and i just picked up dhs phone because he got an email and his notification ringer was going off, as soon as i unlocked the phone i see that dh and FIL had been texting last night..and he says "i keep thinking about what D said about her family and that stupid tree tradition and its the most idiotic thing ive ever heard.. plz tell me my granddaughter is going to grow up with f'd up mexican tradtions" dh- " your granddaughter is going to be half mexican and will more then likely look more like D then us and whatever D wants to teach her she can.. and i doubt that D asked you to plant a tree for Aevin" FIL- she didnt but ik she is going to try to make her dad the favorite grandpa" dh- my PILs live a cross the country and will only get to see her once a year in person.. u live 20 minutes away.. get over yourself dad"
I have never been anything but nice to fil so idk where this has come from. mil is another story i have to put my foot down with that controlling woman.
has anyone had their inlaws insult them because of their race and expressed that they didnt want u to share ur culture with ur kids? (And this tree thing isnt even a mexican thing its what my grandpas dad started to show his grandkids how much they have grown and his way of taking care of them if he didnt get to see them everyday. )
