MIL was being a jerk. But for the sake of your daughters and fir a chance for MIL to learn i would have handled it differently.
I would have sent the girls upstairs and then you and hubby have talk with MIL.girls are package deal and you have to treat them both equally. Equal isn't the same. Doesn't have to be 2 of exact same things but needs to be 2 things of equal value. Explain how she is going to hurt a child that loves her and cause a family rift. She can still save this. Go upstairs and invite Rachel to a separate day out with you to also get a custom dress equal in value. Take her to lunch. Get to know her too.
You could have stopped it before the girls knew tgere was a problem. Before family rift. Before MIL uninvited. Taught MIL what was wrong and let them do end time getting to know each other.
More than one wsy to solve problems.
Take your relationship out of it. Does he love and care for your child? Do you want you son to have a grandfather? Blood doesn't matter. Be honored that he loves your son.
You made more of an effort to see you friend who was sick but you hadn't seen in years. The friend that was there for you all the time wanted to just spend time with you, not a flashy club or restaurant. She wasnt feeling up to that and you didn't have compassion for here but did for the sick friend who never made time gor you. You suck
Your relationship worsened after 2020 lock down. I can understand where being stuck with sick grandma and a mom with mental health issues could be very hard. Mom cant be all bad if she is willingly taking care of grandma. Also if you had been stuck with dad you might think differently about him.
Maybe you could do grandparent tattoos for now and add parents next year if things get better.
