[quote=Anonymous]OP, here's the thing.  Your daughter is FOUR.  The chances she will remember any of this are basically NIL.

So, what your daughter will remember from this year forward is either her Auntie Sue and Uncle John who love her and who have a cute little baby who she adores and can't wait to see a few times a year, or that aunt and uncle who she never sees and a cousin who she barely knows.

You don't have to be best buddies with your SIL to have a strong, warm relationship between your families.

What's past is past.  It has not hurt your daughter in ANY way.  It has miffed and insulted you.  I would suggest you work on your own compassion and empathy, and maybe suggest that you hide your SIL's feed on FB b/c you sound a little jealous and easily ignored by her.  If you don't see her annoying pictures and posts, maybe you wouldn't read so much negative interpretation into her life.

You are lucky to have a wonderful daughter.  She is lucky to maybe have a new cousin in her life and to now have an uncle and aunt who can be part of her life in a way they weren't able to be until now.  What wonderful news.  If you let it be and don't be eaten up by resentment.
