Chocolate it's a bit like that with oh's family.
His mum took two sisters and one grandson to disney land Paris last year, it was a birthday treat. Did we get an invite... Nope. What do out kids get for a birthday present, £20 in a card or if they are lucky I get the money to buy them something.
It really riles me but oh doesn't really care!

Kell, wow that's harsh too! My mum is so good and makes as much effort with my brother as she does me and the grandkids. Mkes me more aware of being fair to my kids as it does get noticed. I'm not going to offer as much to them next year, new years resolution, give my best to those who appreciate it

Kell - hugs its so sad when you can see that your kids get the raw deal in things....brings out our maternal instinct to protect them too x DH dad and step mum are out of this world when it comes to treating our kids like dirt compared to the step mums grandchildren. When ds2 was born he was given 1 babygrow from a pack of 2....that was it (blatant left over from her grandson a few months older) for brithdays xmas they get F all - its not just that there is no thought in the presents, they brought her grandson a PS3 our kids got 2 mini games from sainsburys, indy a small teddy and a milky bar! They also spend no time with them at all - saying all this i am quite happy not to see them they expect my kids to play with them interact with them but they dont really know them. I hope you can sort something out - we tried it failed so we make the most of those interested in us and our kids x

Oh Maybe what cow of your MIL ((())) stupid woman - like you said my girl name will always be my girl name whether i use it or not x

Wow charlie they sound even worse! Maybe my in laws aren't that bad at all, they still buy them the same for birthdays etc. And do treat them brilliantly when we see them. Would just be nice if we were all a bit closer but then my OH doesn't really luike his mums boyfriend and think they know it. So who has anything planned for 2012? Obviously hoping for lots of new babies in this thread lol, also hoping to get our new cooker and kitchen sorted, hoping to work a little less and spend more quality time with those who matter. In an ideal world also get our bathroom done ha ha

2012 plan so far is make DH look for another job - i cant keep doing weekends on my own - if he was off in the week a bit then maybe but he leaves 8.20 in the morning and isnt home till 7pm then sometimes works all weekend too - he gets mondays off but thats the day i work. So that is top priority to change whether it can get better I dont know i hope so. So then we get more time as a family, I have my dads wedding (dreading it) in may then my BF wedding in june (cannie wait!!!) then baby in july lol ooooh and france in august so should be fun. Would love to get new flooring for the kitchen/diner but i think decorating our bedroom is more within reach - still havnt got curtains! Oh and trying to decide where baby will go :S

I'm not really sure about 2012, tbh it's probably gonna be a bit of a write off, other than having the baby of course. I would have been going to uni but that's been put on hold.
We need a bigger house but realistically the only way that will happen is if I rent my place out and we rent also, but dp is dead against renting so I'm really not sure what we are going to do. My sister would have my house in a heart beat and when the recession passes would probably buy it as well. I just need to figure out a way of persuading him we need to rent.
2 adults, and two full time children plus two other children and a dog, well soon to be two dogs in a 2 bed house it's chaos in my house and it drives me mad!
