[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Just wanted to update on the situation.  Our child is now one year old.  SIL and BIL visited us and the baby once for a few hours when he was 2 months old, and we have not seen them since.  They have never once asked about him when talking on the phone/through email.  On the phone they never say, how is your baby doing?  or what's new with the baby?  They have no interest in seeing us again or spending holidays with us.

They are still dealing with infertility.  I thought that after our baby was born they would be interested in a relationship with us again but it appears that they are not.  [/quote]

Maybe they just don't like you.[/b]..... You sound a little full of yourself to post about the issue AGAIN on an old thread. It also sounds like you are the type of person who would only talk about your child around them to prove a point. People have kids all the time, get over yourself.[/quote]

I had a miscarriage.  My SIL had a baby.  I don't like spending time with her.  It has nothing to do with the baby.  We weren't close before.  She is rude.  If anything, getting pregnant and having a child has made her even more entitled and self-centered.  She has no interest in me or my husband or our interests or likes.  She literally just wants us to fawn over her baby and worship her motherhood.  So I've checked out.  I'm polite and I attend family events, but I don't go out of my way to show an interest in her life because I think she's kind of toxic (she always manages to say things that are half compliment/half insult type things) and I'm done with her.

I'm sure she tells herself that it's because I'm jealous.  But I'm not jealous of her (for many reasons, I would not want her life, and my husband and I have kind of decided we might not even want to have children anyway).  It's because I don't like her.

You would do the same thing if you were a mother.  Promise.[/quote]

No, not every mother looks for people to fawn all over their children and their motherhood. Some of us, when given the opportunity to interact with other adults socially, would like to focus on anything but kids.[/quote]
