...with my mother in law.

To start off she ruined my baby shower by showing her butt., cussing me out while I was 9 months pregnant, sending me into a panic attack etc. and I’m still not quite over that. I will forgive but never forget. But that’s a different story for a different day.

My son was born in May. We live about 10 minutes from her. And she’s come to our house about 5 times since he was born to see him for 10 mins max each time. I don’t offer to take him to anyone, my family included. If they wish to see him they need to contact us and ask us to see him. As new first time parents we have way too much going on to worry about everybody else. Long story short, my MIL texts me or my husband at least once a week with some pity story about how she never gets to see our son, my husbands family is always left out of not seeing him blah blah blah. But my thing is, and correct me if I’m wrong. If they don’t care enough to text or call and invite us over or ask to come to our home to see him, then I’m not going out of my way to do it myself. She’s always so jealous of how much time my family spends with our son, yet my family calls or texts at least 3-4 times a week and invites us over for dinner, offers to come over and help with any chores or errands we may have, etc. while his family does not. So why complain constantly about a situation that you could easily fix just by picking up the phone? Ok. Rant over.
