My In-Laws Didn’t Invite My Children to Family Dinner, Disparagingly Calling Them “Baggage”

Our reader Nadine sent us an emotional letter. The fact is that her in-laws invited the whole family over for dinner, leaving her children out. To make matters worse, her husband knew this and approved of this behavior.

This is Nadine’s letter.

We decided to find out what readers think about this situation. All of them found the behavior of the husband and in-laws offensive.

  • I have a very short answer that I use on occasion, and that is. When people show you who they are, believe them. Whatever is said now and whatever apologies made, you know who they all are. © Linda Fawcett / Facebook
  • If my kids weren’t welcome at whatever function, I wouldn’t go either. © Sandy Freed / Facebook
  • I would have left straight away and if my husband didn’t follow, I would have finished my marriage, when it comes to my kids no one wins over them. © Liz Russell Flaherty / Facebook
  • I’d ask my hit if he cared about me and the kids. And then I’d leave the restaurant with or without him. © Faye Birkbeck / Facebook
  • This happened to us for a wedding. Other kids were there. We drove 3 hours to get there, so we were stuck. That was 40 years ago. I never forgot. © Regina Mason / Facebook
  • My children come first, they are not baggage’s … it does not matter if you’re blood or not, kindness should be organic. © M Otto Rittah Rxs / Facebook
  • I would seriously consider whether you stay with your husband, as he clearly hasn’t accepted your children. To say that they shouldn’t be at a family gathering because they’re not blood relatives, means he agrees with your in-laws. I can only imagine how your kids feel with their ‘so called’ dad, disowning them in this manner. © James Wood / Facebook

Conflict with in-laws is not uncommon. Here is the story of a young woman who decided to teach her insolent mother-in-law a lesson.

40 years ago, she was praised as the most beautiful actress. But now, she looks unrecognizable

Can you identify the actress in this photograph?

It’s Rachel Ward, best known for her unforgettable role as Maggie in the iconic film “Singing in the Blackthorns”.

Over forty years ago, Rachel enchanted audiences worldwide with her mesmerizing performances, establishing herself as one of cinema’s most luminous stars.

However, with the passage of time, Rachel’s appearance has naturally transformed, reflecting the inevitable changes that come with aging.

Now 66 years old, Rachel’s look is markedly different, free from the makeup and elaborate hairstyles that characterized her glamour during the dazzling 1980s.

Reactions to her recent photos blend surprise and nostalgic longing, with many fans fondly recalling the days when Rachel’s stunning beauty illuminated the big screen.

While some praise Rachel for embracing the natural aging process without resorting to cosmetic interventions, others express a bittersweet regret over the changes, missing her youthful appearance.

Yet, despite the changes brought by time, Rachel’s performance as Maggie in the cherished film remains vividly remembered, a testament to her remarkable talent and lasting impact on the world of cinema.
