[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My brother and SIL asked to spend time with DH and I this weekend. I casually mentioned to DH  how I was hoping my niece may make him want to have a baby, hoping to make him laugh I asked DH last night if he wanted to spend time with them and he said exasperatedly: “you may want to spend every weekend with your family but I do not. Also, your niece is cute but doesn’t really change anything for me nor do I feel close to her because she’s not my blood relative.”

Ouch. He then proceeded to complain that I spent last weekend away with my mom, and it was my dads birthday the week before (which he did not attend!), and how he had also made dinner for my parents that week and “that’s about all I can handle of your family.”

I really don’t know what to say and was completely taken aback. I thought he was being so rude and I feel hurt.

I agree that he was being a bit rude, but he sounds frustrated that spending time with your family has been such a focus these last few weeks. He needs a break and he wants to spend time with you. Even if he didn't go to your dad's birthday party and wasn't there with your mom last weekend, *you* have been choosing to spend time with them instead of him. Now it sounds like you are also pressuring him to have a baby, despite him saying that he does not want to have one. Listen to what he's telling you, OP, instead of being angry about how he communicated it. The rudeness is a very, very small issue.[/quote]
