My mother-in-law said that my graduation ceremony was really for my husband because he supported me through school.
My mother and mother-in-law flew separately to my graduation from the other side of the country.
She said that my graduation ceremony was really for my husband because he supported me through school.She gave him a graduation gift, as well as a shirt that said, “I survived my wife’s graduate degree.”I found the shirt offensive because it trivialized my accomplishments into something that was apparently extremely difficult for him.
For the remainder of the visit, she continued to ask him to wear the shirt, but he continued to dodge the question and not wear it because he knew it made me upset.She has had a pattern of making little negative comments about my degree and future job. I do appreciate all the effort she put in coming to attend, but at the end of the day my feelings were still hurt. How could I call and explain my feelings to her?DEAR GRAD: Your husband’s mother decided to make a big deal over him on the occasion of your graduation, belittling you in the process. Her preferential treatment is embarrassing, silly , and you could try to address your lingering sensitivity about this honestly, but carefully.
