NE Iowa | Looks like your wife's folks have established the rules for their side of the relationship. Up to you and your wife to establish your rules for the same relationship. If you have a 'you pissed on me so I'm going to piss on you' attitude, them life is going to be rough. Doesn't mean you just go on pretending it didn't happen, but find some middle ground you can live with and move on. My folks equate 'fair' with 'equal' in how they deal with my sister and I. It's far from equal or fair, whatever those mean, so I don't worry about it and just treat them with the love and respect that God dictates we have for our parents. Could get caught up in a 'I sure got screwed' attitude, but that really wouldn't accomplish anything. I would suggest you and your wife get past this and move on. | |
