Competing with affection..

I never felt the feeling of competing with anyone's attention or affection.

But now, I know what it feels like now.

MIL is officially competing for husband's affection. I've actually had this nagging feeling that MIL likes to ask husband for affection, but I've just been putting it aside - no harm no foul right?

But just a few days ago - she did it in front of my face she tells husband blatantly - 'Kiss mommy', the proceeds to raise her arms up to embrace husband. But husband only kisses her and doesn't embrace her back!

Now, why does she need to do that in front of my face?

It was then that I realized that she was competing for husband's affection. She was testing to see if husband will embrace her back. But I'm secure - I don't need to make unnecessary gestures to get affection. I'm not even worried at all!!

to MIL - YES, I know husband is your favorite. But it doesn't mean you're his favorite.

Bwahahahahaha!!
