Hi, hope i dont ramble on too long but would love advice from anyone else in the same sort of situation.
My OH and i both have daughters from previous relationships and a daughter together. My daughter has very limited contact with her dad (when he can be bothered!) she only sees him around once a year and he doesnt call her on a regular basis (last time was about 6 weeks ago). He didnt send her anything for her birthday and only a small pressent for christmas last year, also we dont recieve finacial help from him for her.
My OH and i have his daughter on weekends, help finacially and buy her clothes etc. But we never see them again she always comes down looking a mess (i.e dirty clothes and clothes that dont fit).
The thing is my OH parents dont seem to treat any of the children the same, we dont spoil the girls because we cant afford it so they get when they need. Last week i had to replace my oldests daughters trainers as they had come away (she had them for a long time), we went to his parents and she said "nana look at my new trainer's" to which his mother replied" You got then because your spoilt!" I had to bite my tongue as it really p-ed me off. His parents are always making arrangement to take his daughter out, they buy her things but never my two. Yesterday they called to tell us that they had bought her a bike (we were looking at getting her one for her birthday but giving her it early), so i told my husband to offer too pay for it, to which they replied "No, we havent got her anything recently so its off us" They havent bloody got the other two anything since christmas!!!! Talking of christmas the never get the same amount they always spend the most on his daughter only to try and tell us they all got the same amount which i know is total rubbish. I feel like its a peckin order with these two at the bottom.
We were recently looking at the wedding photos that his parents had took and there were pictures of them with his sisters 2 children and pictures of them with his daughter but none of them with my two, one of which is actually their grandchild.
This situation is really starting to get to me and i am starting to feel that i wish we hadnt got married, as if i knew this was going to happen i wouldnt have put my self and the girls in this situation.
Any advice would be great please
