    MIL says she doesn't care what this baby is, as she already has her much-wanted beautiful granddaughter...
    Jennifer, MiL still adores her granddaughter, her much longed for little girl in the family. Her grandson is, to all intents and purposes, ignored as completely as she can do so. She'll babysit Niece, but not Liebling. She loves Niece but can't even name Liebling's favourite toy (books, not Thomas/Brio/Duplo... although Thomas books are enjoyed).

    Won't take anything off you! They'll still visit you and not their other grandchild because your daughter is the one they want and they don't give a stuff about any other grandchild now.

    Oooh, sorry, am I appearing a little bit bitter now? Hope your MiL is better to her other DiL than mine is to me.

    I'm freaking out a bit because DP is an only child, and although he has a little girl from a previous relationship, the in-laws never get to see her because of DP's ex. So now i'm worried because i think that because this bub is going to be there all the time for them to see. eek!!
    When Paige (DP's little girl) comes over every second weekend his parents keep calling and insisting that they take her out to do something or other. Even when she was really sick, they still insisted on taking her to the work christmas party at a pool!!! DP caves in with Paige, but let me tell you, if there is any random "show-ups" or they over step their boundaries and won't leave us the hell alone, i'm going to have to have the talk with them.

    My mum is pretty good, and i know she won't be overbearing. So i'm not worried about my parents. But i'm definatly worried about the in-laws
