[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's my pep talk, OP:

Call her up and ask to spend the day with her, just you two.  Tell her you want to rekindle your friendship, that you feel like you've neglected it and it's lost its spark.  Take her out to lunch, shopping, pedi-mani, or the movies.  [b]Something that doesn't revolve around your marriage and child.  Because frankly, why WOULD she be interested in an endless parade of child, grandchild, marriage interplay?  Why would anyone?  [/b]Your child may be adorable to you and its grandparents, but the world is just not that interested.  Period.  Rightfully so.  Your SIL has the right not to be interested.  Without strings.[/quote]

sil is not interested in discussing marriage and children because she cannot relate and it makes her sad. i bet that if sil got engaged, then she would expect all the conversation to revolve around her wedding. similarly, if she had a baby, she would want to talk about children. she doesnt, so she doesnt want to talk about it, bc she cannot relate. that's called being self-absorbed and selfish.
