Answer 1

Unfortunatly when you marry someone you also marry the family. You should tell your husband and he should be the one to tell his parents what he sees, leaving the fact that you told him out of the story. I had  a simular issue and my wife told me and in turn I told my mom what I saw, not that she told me to keep her on my moms good side

Answer 2

Don't go around them anymore.  You aren't married to them, you are married to your husband.  

Answer 3

she is buying them out. she buys their attention and what not. see what money can do ... one day she wont have it and see the real her ... and talk to your husband about how u feel he needs to stick up for you in family situation... you are just getting pushed away. when your in laws need something from you one day dont bother see if they notice.

Answer 4

LIKE/LOVE YOURSELF! You are doing the right thing by trying to get along with your in-laws,but you don't need to seek their approval to be content in your family. So they dote on her...big deal!She's new to the family, so that probably won't last long, meantime..your married to their son, not THEM!! Go on with your life and don't stress over being #1 with them...wastes to much of your energy, and just makes you feel bad.:)

Answer 5

Stay away from them, let your husband know how you feel. Have him say something, or just take your family out of the picture. In laws are super annoying and insane. Your in laws are particularly vane and shallow for wanting to appreciate someone who came from a family with money. Wait until your in laws find out that she isn't her parents and she has to make and earn her own family.

Just realize that you can't change how your in laws react to her. Just worry about your own family. I spent WAY too much time worrying about what my in laws think. Turns out, they don't matter! My family is the most important thing to me, and I can definitely live without my in laws. Fortunately I'm the only DIL my in laws will have, husband has 3 sisters!
