[quote=Anonymous]This is nowhere near as bad as some others here, so I shouldn't complain, but it still upsets me every time I think about it:

DH had to be out of town for work for two weeks when DD was 5 through 7 weeks old. MIL (who lives out of town) happened to be in town during that same two week period house sitting for my BIL and his family who were out of town on vacation. So, MIL and I were the only ones in the family in town (my family lives far away). During that time, she purposely didn't call, come by, or make plans with me and when I called her, she made excuses why she couldn't come see me and the baby. We saw each other once the whole two weeks, when I went to BIL's house to see her. She told me later that she stayed away on purpose so that I would know that I was capable of taking care of DD on my own with no help. Of COURSE I can take care of DD on my own, but a little break, to get out of the house, or to take a little nap, or even just a visit to come see your own grandchild would have been nice! This was years ago, and we've always had a good relationship more or less, and she's a wonderful grandmother, so I shouldn't complain, but I've always thought that was just crazy.[/quote]
