[quote=Anonymous]It's your child's first birthday. Honestly, at this point, any calls of well wishing and congratulations should be to you and your husband for getting successfully through the first year, which is not always a cake walk. Your child will not remember, and in a couple years, you won't care.

My daughter's dad's family is not close. My family is. His mom has seen DD exactly twice, once when she was 2 weeks old and once when she was 1.5. She is now almost 4. Former MIL is a good person and she cares about DD, but buying gifts and being effusive and celebratory is not her style. She doesn't do those things for her children. I find it sad, but I don't expect her to do it for my child.

Complaining to your husband that his family is not warm enough is just asking for conflict. Talking to them about it is not going to result in anything other than discord. Your family was celebratory. You and DH can be celebratory. If his family isn't into that, you will just have to live with it.[/quote]
