I am relatively new here. Iv been lurking for a few weeks and still working on the acronyms, so please bear with me.
A little BG. It will probably be a little long and jumbled, sorry in advance.
My POO seem to dislike my DH, FOO more than MOO. FOO reason for not liking DH is because he doesn't have a high enough paying job and feels that he doesn't provided well enough for our DD and myself. FOO is ALL about money and how much he can show off. MOO thinks DH is just an ass. She will speak when DH speaks to her and will be polite to him but doesn't strike conversation.
DH works 40-50 hours EVERY week. He has missed work or taken a vacation day 5-6 times in the last year a most.
I am a SAHM and 27 weeks pregnant with #2. FOO seems to think that I am lazy and need to get a job so when DH leaves me I will have money and the means to provide for both children and myself. FOO has been on me about this for 2 years. MOO thinks I need to go back to collage and get a job. Yet again because it is ALL about money and possessions to them.
Now to the current problem. Sunday the 3 of us went to my parents house for a visit and dinner (first time we have done this in about 6-7 months.) My younger sister had her BF over, no big deal he is a nice boy. FOO barely said a word to DH and spoke mostly to sis BF. This wouldn't be a problem seeing that my DH is a shy person, but when FOO would speak to him it was to ask how much DH is making now (recently got a small raise) and to say well BF's brother just bought a new home (BF's brother is DH boss and they make about the same, I think its only $1 different) and he doesn't see a reason why we can't. I told FOO that it really isn't any of his business and to stop. He said I'm just talking to the boy and it was a harmless question. I told him again to just stop it.
My parents have a horrible problem of trying to look into our financials. When we go out to dinner with them the ALWAYS have to pay because they don't want us to be put out and the know we don't have as much money as they do. I have told the time and time again that we are fine when it comes to money, we don't live paycheck to paycheck and have a rather comfortable savings account, but they just don't stop.
When my family says all this it makes my DH pissed but he won't say anything to them only to me. I am one of them people that was raised that you respect what you're elders say and faaaamily.
Please ladies help me and light the fire under my ass. Tell me how I need to handle this!! I can give more BG and better details just ask. If I don't reply right away it because its late and I fell asleep. Sorry for and spelling or punctuation errors.
