[quote=Anonymous]OP here.

I have to say that I do have a good relationship with my inlaws. They are good people.  But the underlying theme in their family is that no one asks anyone for help. It's very strange. My mil was very ill a year ago, and no one told us (my husband calls once a week and I email them every day with photos).  Allegedly they didn't tell us to not "bother" us. My husband feels strongly about this and says that by scheduling the work trips around my due date they were subtly telling us that they didn't want to visit.

I should mention that they feel very overwhelmed around my kids. They are scared by their energy, crying etc.  they have babysit only a handful of times (maybe 3-4) because they just can't handle it if they start crying. So maybe they thought this was nicer than saying "I'm scared of your toddler"?

Should also mention that when they told us they repeatedly said how much they love both of us etc etc. I love them too, but I feel so abandoned. [/quote]
