| 0:00.0 | My entitled Mother-in-law refuses to invite me on a family trip, choosing to only invite my husband and my two sons. |
| 0:07.0 | With her excuse being that we're not really family, proving once and me a jerk for opening up about my feelings. |
| 0:23.0 | And now I'm kind of at a loss and I seriously don't know what to do. |
| 0:27.0 | Here's what happened. |
| 0:28.0 | So my husband and I have two eight-year-old twin boys. |

| 1:09.9 | And also because she just doesn't like me. |
| 1:12.4 | My husband knows this and hasn't ever forced me to interact with her, |
| 1:15.9 | but he still talks to her occasionally. |
| 1:18.0 | Anyhow, he told me that my mother-law had offered to pay for him |
| 1:21.8 | and the boys to go on a two-week trip with her around |
| 1:24.3 | Thanksgiving time. But guess what? I'm not invited. She said that I'm not her |
| 1:28.2 | real family so she doesn't want to pay for me as well. And this is word for word according to my husband. |
