[quote=Anonymous]"she doesn’t much care for me." This. So there is nothing you can really do about it other than acknowledge and keep an appropriate and civil discourse going with SIL. It sounds like your SIL tolerates you because her DH is your brother. She has made it clear she does not want any kind of parenting advice from you, so button up. She has also made it clear they do not want gifts (other than those they identify) so stop trying to be thoughtful because it's wasted effort. It's hard when you are a giving person and your gifts are not appreciated. I've been there and done that with family members. Then I stopped. It resulted in a lot of saved money and hard feelings (all the way around.) Give your nephew a pair of of $20 training pants or however many would fit your budget. [/quote]
