[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I should add too, which made it worse, their neighbor just got a puppy and they lost their minds over it when we first got there. Like took pictures and gushed and laughed and said how cute it was. So I know they are capable of some sort of a reaction! And it's been a week almost, they still haven't called or said anything. MIL texted on Halloween and asked if we had a lot of trick or treaters. ??[/quote]

Holy crap.  I am so sorry to hear, OP.  This is my MIL.  I know my MIL is depressed, and not capable of being happy for DH or our family - which is SUPER effed up, since DH has done a ton for his birth family.  Anything SIL or her children do is the best, thing, ever. Inexplicably so. All I can say is don't expect them to get excited over anything.  I'm sure there is a diagnosis for this, and if I were a professional therapist (if only) I would have a diagnosis both for your IL's and my IL's, alike.  I fondly refer to it as assholery.  Do your best to ignore it.

You are not alone.
