Okay, I have a bit of a jealously peoblem (I think). I live in the same house as my fiance's family. It's 6 of us total. It's very nice to have everyone living under the same roof, but somethimes I find myself getting annoyed. I'm very close with my soon to be mother, but sometimes I find myself getting jealous. When her daughter is not around she is loving and caring to me, but when she is around it's like I'm not even there. She calles she "sweetie", "honey" and always finds things to do with her. I feel out of the loop. How can I confront her or what should I do? Am I making a big deal about nothing? I guess when I have kids, I'll favor my own more as well

I guess I'd feel the same way if my "mother-in-law" treated me differently when her daughter was around....When your fiances sister is around, try engaging her in a conversation that everyone can participate in...this will break some of the tension...maybe do a girls day out you, the sister & the mother-in-law (like to the mall or something) Dont sweat the small stuff...you dont say if your fiance has other brothers who are married with children...if not & you have the first grandchild you will be the center of attention at all times! Your lucky to have a mother-in-law that likes you...Mine never liked me...good luck...

You really can't expect your mother-in-law to-be to treat you the EXACT same as her own daughter. For one thing she carried her daughter in her womb and her cared for her since birth. She has only known you for a short while. You should consider yourself lucky that you have been so well accepted, some daughter-in-laws are barely acknowledged. You need to learn to deal with your jealousy now because it is an ugly personality trait and if you have it in one area it can infect other areas of your life as well. You may need to see a counselor or therapist to learn how to get a grip on it. Good luck and God Bless.

It sounds like you have a great relationship with your mother-in-law. Cherish that and stop trying to find a problem where there is none. You sound very young and kind of lonely. Just relax and enjoy your new family, you are blessed. Good luck!

You're just making a big deal about nothing but if I were you...its better to move out so that you will not encounter any conflict in the future with your in-laws.
