[quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure if I’m being overly-sensitive, but I feel like my SIL deliberately leaves me out from conversations. I’m the one in our family who does all the purchasing  of birthday gifts, remembering important events, etc.

I recently bought my nephew a present for his birthday. DH commented while my nephew was unwrapping the gift how it was hard to find the gift because it was sold out. The card was in my handwriting.

SIL called DH the next day to say thank you “Oh thank you Uncle Larlo! DS loves his gift.” DH says “actually I didn’t have anything to do with it, it was all DW.” SIL just says “oh, well tell her we say thank you.” She never contacted me afterwards. DH was a little put off by it.

I texted her what time dinner was scheduled (at her house!), and if we should bring a dessert, and she just responded “Larlo and MIL already talked, so just ask him?” I was just asking her what time the dinner was scheduled for. I asked DH and he said he couldn’t remember if he had promised to bring something, hence why I was asking SIL.

They have a very tight-knit family and I always feel like I’m on the outside. I would like to have a good relationship with my IL’s, my idea is just that we can communicate with each other. I’ve asked my DH why his sister won’t talk to me directly and he just said “I don’t know, she can be weird like that.” Do I just let it go?[/quote]
