April,
It's hard when it comes to the in-laws! If your in-laws don't live too far away why don't you take your baby to see them? Good luck! |

| I had a similar situation during my pregnancy, it has since been resolved thankfully. When my husband Scott and I told his dad and his wife they responded very tepidly to our pregnancy announcement and asked Scott later in private if it was accidental. Totally humiliating. Scott wrote his dad an email, kinda cowardly but whatever, addressing this and they didn't speak until after the baby was born. Even then, Scott's dad was still upset so they had it out over the phone when our baby was 3 months. Eventually, his dad apologized to him, not me, that made me upset, but it's a vicious circle, someone has to let go of their pride. They called you and you said sure so it's proper decorum to call them and let them know when YOU are available. Which is cool because it's you pulling the strings. |

screw them. they obvously don't have consideration for your feelings. i mean, who the hell invites their daughter in law over for dinner knowing that their son's ex is gonig to be there?!
stay away from the drama, live your life, and don't loose any sleep just because they didnt call.
screw them.

if it serves as confort...I was in a similar situation with an ex of my now husband at his bday party, they swear she showed up uninvited...which I believed and let go.
However, my second baby was born 7 months ago...my inlaws took 2-3 months to meet him...why? Don't know!
I fuzzed a LOT about it, but hey...after venting with friends and relatives and taking in all advice possible, I concluded that God only knows why they won't meet their gran children or nephiews, so once again I let it go...now every time they see him they love him and spoil him.
Don't take that away from your baby |

I know exactly how you feel girl. My son is 4 years old and his grandma could care less about him. Its sad. When we are in town she acts like she wants to be so involved but when we are away she can go months without even calling to check on him. So every time we are home I dont go out of my way to let her see him. If she wants to see him then she can come to my moms house. Let me know what you plan on doing.
