Tzolkin, I agree with your thoughts about the OP's comments, quoted just above!!!
The comments quoted do not reflect upon a easy-going non-judgmental MIL.
I did not choose to mention this earlier.... for the obvious reasons.
Also, because, even if these comments are what they are... The DIL's behavior is just SO beyond reasonable and def. 'toxic'.
Maybe, sometimes, it takes two.
The OP is not the MIL. She is the baby's great-grandmother. So grandmother in law, I guess.
And come on, the girl should have done the thank you cards for the wedding. He works, she doesn't. She didn't have a child then so all the household stuff should fall to her. I mean are you really suggesting that he should have come in after 8-10 hours at work and sat down and written out thank you cards??
And I can't help but agree with the OP that if they were struggling and didn't have much money then the girl should have been working. That is what adults do when they need money, they go to work. If my 19 year old can go to school full time and work to help her bf with the bills than I really don't think its beneath any other young lady to do the same. Now, I doubt that it would pay for her to work because of paying child care but before? Yep, should of had a job.
