My MIL, and SIL are not involved in my kids life. They don't really care or support what's going on with them ( their loss). What gets me is now that I'm about to have baby with in nxt couple weeks. SIL is all of a sudden trying to rush us over for dinner. For the first time in years MIL text me on my b-day. I'm not going to rush to have them meet baby when she comes. Could careless if they meet her.
Unless they make the effort to be in your kids life and actually make the time for them, not come and go when they please; then you have no reason to make the effort for them to be in your kids life. They adults, they wanna be part of precious kids life and memories as they grow, they will follow through in their promises. If not, then your kids will be the one to hurt in the end because of broken promises.
@31knightsfbmommy, W the new baby, they ask, call and txt the hubby but NO call to me. I literally at this point don't even want them to hold me baby!!!
@31knightsfbmommy, I'm due March 31st-soon, on bed rest for contractions. I know how u feel w the inlaws. I absolutely hate now that my kids are aware of what the inlaws say like I'll stop by after work or I'll come and pick u up on Friday and u can stay the weekend w grandma or auntie...they don't even call to say theyre not comming and my kids are NAGGIN, mad at me, waiting to go... it's horrible. At this point my kids have realized that when they say something, don't hold them to it.They don't expect anything from them now.
@graciebaby, it's sad because I always wanted them in the kids life talked them up gave them credit they don't deserve. My kids love them, but hurts they show no support at all. They never come see us we have to go to them.
Not to mention I'm exhausted work full time early am shift. Last thing I feel like doing on my spare time is visit them.
I'm literally dealing with the same thing with my SIL. She still hasn't bothered to see how am I doing. She only texts when she wants something from her brother. My husband got sick of the way she was treating me so he told everybody to that we weren't calling anybody till after the baby was born and we were settled 😂. She had the nerve to try to go behind my back and talk my husband into changing the birth plan. I'm only 26 weeks and she still doesn't check on me or anything, but I know how that family is. She's gonna try everything she can to be in the middle of it all when it's time. Births r a family event with them and that's not how I'm doing things. Needless to say we don't hear much from his family anymore unless they want something, and because of that he doesn't respond back to them most of the time
