[quote=Anonymous]My SIL lives two states over, I’ve met her a handful of times but we’re not particularly close.

LO is 2 weeeks old. SIL was not invited to the baby shower, but she purchased two of our big ticket items which DH and I were very thankful for. Then after LO was born SIL sent flowers, but this week she’s sent an amazon gift card and a meal delivery service for 2 weeks. Even my own sister wasn’t this generous. DH just told me that SIL now wants to plan a visit to us when LO will be 6 months.

I’m very grateful that she’s gone out of her way. But it’s starting to feel like too much and I feel like I have to constantly thank her. I tried talking to DH about it but he just shrugged and said she’s very happy for us. SIL is married but doesn’t have kids of her own so I have no idea why she would be so interested when we’re not even that close, it’s almost like she thinks of the arrival of LO as a ticket into our life? I really just want to tell her we appreciate it but we have everything we need now?[/quote]
