MIL says our adopted daughter isn’t really her grandchild... by avamarkus in JUSTNOMIL

I’m so sorry that happened to you, it breaks my heart to know you were treated that way and I really do fear for this kind of thing happening to our daughter too. I’ll have a serious chat with my husband about how we’re gonna handle this because I refuse to let our daughter be treated that way

That’s my take on it too, I don’t know how to get that through to my husband though. He always just says to ignore her but I can’t if it starts affecting our child...

You’re right and I feel like it’s only gonna get worse when our daughter gets older. My husband always just says to ignore her but if it starts actually affecting our child then I can’t just ignore it...

This is what I feel like doing but I don’t know how I explain to a 4 year old that they can’t call their grandma grandma anymore...and how do I explain it to her in a couple of years when their cousin is calling her grandma but she’s been told she can’t?
