    both my outlaws are gone now but all his life they favoured hubbys sister to him . when grandkids came along her kids were favoured over ours
    bdays and xmas our kids got 1 toy from the poundshop her kids starting 30 odd years ago got £20 and it went up each year
    when mil was in hospital i took the fil every day and picked him up every night..one evening i asked as sil is here why didnt you ask her to bring u home he said i didnt want to put her out...she died first he went 3 years later.. hubby and his sister went to the reading of the will...she was left the house all the contents and 32k in money
    hubby was left 6k in money ... note was left to be read to him
    it said......you are probably wondering why we left so much to your sister and so little to you...answer is simple we never wanted you to marry your wife...
    sister has been married 3 times divorced twice...we have been married for 37 years in november
    am i sorry theyre both gone ? lol no... is hubby ? nope :rotfl:


    Dippydoo that was a terrible thing to do to your husband ....nasty people ...did his sister not offer him some of hers ?
