MY MIL BOUGHT A HOT DOG COSTUME FOR MY ELDEST DAUGHTER, WHILE HER BIO GRANDDAUGHTERS GOT PRINCESS DRESSES.
I'm still in shock and angry as I write this. I have three daughters: Mabel, my eldest from a previous marriage, and my two younger daughters from my current marriage. Last week, my mom passed away, and I had to leave for her funeral in another state. My biggest worry was the girls' upcoming school ball — I hadn't bought their dresses yet.
My MIL assured me, "Don't worry. I'll handle everything. You go."
I trusted her.
On the day of the funeral, I got a message from my MIL. I opened it, hoping it would brighten my spirits. But instead, it was a punch to the gut. My younger daughters were dressed in beautiful princess gowns while Mabel stood there in a ridiculous hot dog costume, looking humiliated.
To make it worse, MIL's caption read, "Every princess needs a sidekick, right? Here's ours!"
I was shaking with anger. And my husband was fuming even more. So, he didn't let it slide for my MIL. ⬇️
