[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be the bigger person and forgive the SIL. She fired off her mouth two years ago. For the sake of family, let it go.

I'm more interested in the daycare arrangement. Before the incident, MIL used to watch your baby 2x a week? Then after SIL, you removed your baby from her care and went into daycare? What did MIL have to say about that?[/quote]

OP here- I can let it go, but it is hard to find a way to connect again so that when we see each other we can drink wine and gossip like we used too.  I don't know anything about her life anymore, haven't been to her new house (she is single) and also DH will have to let it go too or else it will still be awkward.

As far as the daycare, we didn't immediately switch but I started putting our name on waiting lists and about 3 months later a spot opened up and we made the switch with the excuse that she needed to be around other kids.  MIL said nothing and I will never know how she truly felt, which is another problem.  DH communicated the news though I did thank her for making it easier for me to go back to work knowing that the first year of DD's life was spent with two grandmas.  As a result though, she now doesn't regularly spend time with DD because she doesn't reach out to make plans, invite us over (unless for family event or holiday) and it is tougher to make plans on the weekends on a regular basis.
