Grandma gives identical pajamas to her grandchildren for Christmas, but deliberately excludes one of them: this photo infuriated the web
Grandma is an important figure in a child's life, but not all grandmothers are able to stand out as a shining example for their grandchildren to follow. This grandma got a lot of critisism about a photo posted onto Facebook showing a group of her grandkids all wearing the same pajamas - all, that is, but one of them. The story behind this photo has left many users upset and shocked: the grandma bought her 5 grandchildren identical pajamas, but excluded her non-biological grandson. A user commented that this is one of the many reasons why "mothers-in-law are often not held in high regard". What do you think?
It's not kind to make a child feel left out, whatever the reason. A post recently appeared on Facebook which reads: "A friend of mine is married. Her mother-in-law bought matching pajamas for all the children EXCEPT the one that does not belong to her son. Was she wrong to do this?". User comments have not only unamiously condemned the granny, but also those who took the photo, who they describe as "accomplices" to this injustice. Although there are some comments that try to justify the granny's actions, there are many others who agree with the comment: "There are many heartless people out there!".
One mother commented that a mother-in-law like this would not be welcome in her house if she insisted on excluding her non-biological grandson: "Those pajamas would have left the house with her. You cannot treat my child differently from my other children because it will feel like you are showing that you don't like me nor my child." In short, it would be a terrible insult! Also, who took the picture? Being able to watch this scene impassively and taking a picture showing the "excluded" child is puzzling. Besides, shouldn't everyone be kinder and generous at Christmas? Apparently, however, some people never change.
What do you think of this story: was the granny right or wrong to exclude the child?
