(((((AAAAA and family)))))) - I understand why you/family are hurt by your FIL.
Quote:
My issue is this: after the last time my daughter was devastated by her grandfather I told my husband and daughter both that although I understand how painful this is for them, they have to accept the man as he is. He’s 72 years old. He hasn’t shown any consideration for anyone but himself in the 40 years I’ve known him and he is not about to start now.

I think it would be easy to accept the above quote if this was the way he is with everyone in the family....BUT it appears he's 'selective' and CAN be thoughtful with the other niece, therefore he's not always a guy who's inconsiderate it seems. So he's obviously favoring one of his own children(your hubby) over his daughter and their extended family. Is the SIL who's coming, the one who he favors along with her daughter? Has anyone particularly your husband ever called him on this and got a decent explanation?
