[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't your dh ever bring up your daughter in all those phone conversations? Like, "i can't believe Karla took hr 1st steps today, Jane and i are baby proofing the house now." Or " Yea, after Larla's holiday prek party we'll be on our way to mom and dad's house so well get there by dinner".[/quote]

OP here.  He rarely mentioned our daughter to his sister/her husband in order to be sensitive to what they were going through.  When he once in awhile did bring her up during their phone conversations, they didn't say anything.  And yes, he would sit through an hour long phone conversation over and over listening to them go on and on about their latest whatever, but in order to be sensitive to what they were going through, didn't bring up our daughter's latest achievement/milestone, etc.[/quote]

That's emotional hostage-taking on their behalf. I've suffered losses but am still decent enough to ask after children of friends and family. FFS.[/quote]
