[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have kids? I've found that having kids helps this feeling. My inlaws aren't bad people, but they didn't really do a lot of make me feel welcome. It wasn't intentionally mean, but it was made clear to me that they often forgot I had my own family. Since having kids, that's gotten better. Maybe I have less time to mull over little slights, or perhaps I'm just busier chasing my two little kids around. It also might help that they all really really adore and love my children, so that goes a long way towards smoothing out some of the bumps along the way. Still not perfect, but I definitely don't feel lonely during holidays. We also host more now that we have napping toddlers.[/quote] I agree with this. Prior to having kids my in laws were cordial, but never really put forth any effort to get to know me or include me. Since having kids it has gotten better, still a bit superficial, but better.[/quote]
