[quote=Anonymous]I think these responses are a little harsh.  I think it's easy to accuse OP of being immature and dramatic if you have never been in a similar situation where a family member shuns your child for whatever reason.  It can be hurtful, even if the child is too young to fully understand what is going on and even if the family member is dealing with his or her own issues that have nothing to do with you or the kid.   Even if SIL had a reason for acting this way, it doesn't necessarily change the effect her behavior has on other people.  There were other ways that SIL could have handled her issues when OP's child was born and afterward.  I don't necessarily think that SIL was "mean" to OP's DD based on what OP has said, but I can see how SIL's behavior may have felt that way to OP.

OP - you can't change what happened or how you felt about it, but maybe things can be better going forward.  I guess you know that you and your child's relationship with SIL will always be dependent on whatever issues SIL may be facing, which is unfortunate, but it is what it is.
