[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SIL sounds self centered. I would be hurt by her making the day your child was born all about HER. [b]She sounds immature.[/b] [/quote]

Wow.
Some of you really are heartless.  [/quote] And they lack empathy, compassion--after all the world revolves them and their spawn.[/quote]

Oh bullshit!  The person who says she sounds immature is spot on.

Do women (and men) struggling with infertility deserve empathy and compassion?  Absolutely, without a doubt, unequivocally, yes.  But there are still *limits* to behavior that can be justified by suffering.  If you read the thread more carefully you will note that the SIL has also ignored another older child over a period of years.  This is not just about one time that she ran out the room crying when faced with a newborn (which none of us would find surprising under the circumstances).  I doubt OP would have posted if it were only that.  It's that she continued to behave coldly toward the baby for months after and has been cold to another child for years!  Infertility and the very real grief that comes with it does not give someone the excuse to behave the way SIL has toward the children.  And it doesn't matter if the baby and the 4 year old don't notice, all the other siblings and in-laws do.  This woman is so selfish and immature, she thinks her suffering trumps all else and everything is all about her.   [/quote]

Yet, op thinks her happiness trumps everyone else's grief...  [/quote]

Oh, bullshit again.  Read her posts.  She was concerned for SIL at the hospital.  She's more upset about the ongoing behavior than what happened at the hospital.  She's fed up and has a right to be.  [/quote]

This x 100.  OP's SIL sounds like a piece of work.[/quote]
