[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it sounds like your brother and SIL like to complain, not that they personally find you objectionable.  Let it go.

Also, [b]you live in the same city and only see them once a month?  Initiate more often[/b], and then you can feel like more of an aunt/uncle to your new niece.[/quote]

That's really hard. Her bedtime routine starts at 5:30 and I couldn't get to them from work until around 5:45. My brother gets home from work around 6:30-7:30 and often doesn't see her at night. So weekdays are basically out. They're super social, so they always have plans on weekends or are rushing around doing errands.

Plus, I live in a shithole of an apartment that is not fit for a baby. They never come where I live. Literally, my SIL has never been inside my apartment and I've lived here six years. I have no table, no couch, etc. I don't have company. So when I want to see the baby, I'm basically inviting myself over to their house. They JUST took her to a playground for the first time a week ago, so they're not going to be down with me taking her all over the city to different ones or taking her for a walk or anything.

She's getting older, and the weather is getting nicer.  Initiate more often, including inviting yourself over.  See how it goes.[/quote]
