Mum threatens divorce over feud with her kids' grandparents

An angry mum is threatening to divorce her husband unless he agrees to cut his parents out of their lives permanently.

The mother-of-three has taken to Reddit to voice the concerns she has with her in-laws over the way her kids are treated as the "least favourite" of their ten grandchildren. 

"As the children were young and didn't understand it was tolerable but now they suffer a lot and notice the favoritism and visiting the in-laws has become an ordeal for my children especially when the other cousins are there," she writes.

She says it has created a huge divide in her marriage, with her husband constantly siding with his parents over the way they treat their children.

"My husband said that 'I have no right' and 'he has the same amount of say to decide who meets his children' so I told him that fine, he could choose us or mommy and we could divorce and I would make sure his mom never see our children."

She says her daughter already "does not want to see anyone from that side of the family" and so she's trying to look after her kid's best interests.

She also reveals she once caught her mother-in-law denying her children's birthday while the rest of the grandchildren were given a piece to enjoy while they were forced to sit and watch.

Now, she's got a fight on her hands with her in-laws, who say she's being ridiculous.

"Now she is calling my husband crying every day about how I am forbidding her from seeing her grandchildren which is beyond me because why would she even care when she doesn't like them?"

The mum says she doesn't want her children to "resent their cousins for being treated better because it isn't the cousins' fault that adults aren't even pretending to be civil".

Her post has already had more than 5,700 votes with the majority agreeing that she was in the wrong for trying to protect her children.
