[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here -- she has a lot of disposable cash because her husband makes $200,000/year in the private sector and they live in a rent-controlled studio. I bring up my child, and she literally acts like I haven't said a thing.

I get that I might be expecting too much for her to fly out for the party or the graduation (though they're very close together, so you could easily do it in one trip). I guess my bigger issue is that she just shows zero interest in my life, or the life of my baby. Our phone conversations are entirely about her. This is something that started well before she was in her PhD program. [/quote]

You are expecting too much for her to fly out for the party and the graduation.  Seriously, I would never expect any family member to fly across the country for either of those things, let alone be angry that they didn't do it, and I don't care how much money or vacation time they have.

The other issue is different, and I think you just have to get used to the fact that she's not going to talk much about your life.  If that bothers you, have fewer phone conversations with her.  [/quote]
