What do you do when you are ignored by your family and his. My husband is a mama's and daddy's boy. They ask him everything about our childs life as well as ours. My family tends to do the same. When I am talking, my husbands starts to interrupt and immediately I tell him that I am in the middle of talking. Tonight we were out to dinner with my mother and aunt. When I said this to him, my aunt kept saying i'm done talking, it's ok. She wasn't. What do I do. I told my husband, I no longer want to see his family if I am going to be ignored.

    • i'm sure they love you just as much as they love him. i'd carefully analyze what you say vs. what your husband says about certain topics. do family members prefer hearing his version because he's more upbeat/humorous/smiley? next time, try to break out of your shell and pick 1 story that you are excited to tell. perhaps it is a story about your kid. my family loves to kid anecdotes. see if they cut you off then. also, it could be that your husband is just a better conversation "jumper in-ner" than you are. in that case, learn from your hubby. figure out what he does that's so great and emulate it! you can learn from your spouse, too.
