MIL

So my MIL has basically not checked in on me at all for my whole pregnancy. Didn’t even congratulate me when my husband told her we were pregnant (after a long infertility journey and a few losses). Now that I’m 3 weeks away from giving birth she’s texting me all of a sudden. Wtf

Show your support

I am sorry to hear this. You can message me privately. I may be able to support you emotionally through this.

I wouldn't even reply. I'm in the same boat. They only do it because they want to be involved with the baby.

@Valentina Mcillmurray I totally agree and it’s so transparent. I’m trying to work on not letting it bother me but she really is so different to my family that I find it really hard. She’s a taker not a giver and I’ve told my husband I need to take a step back. I’ll be polite and courteous but I’m not going above and beyond anymore.

Omg i had the exact same last year with my first baby who was an IVF baby - got a cold response from MIL and heard basically nothing until the last month. Im not a fan anyway and the feeling is probably mutual but I have always kept them at arms length from my baby xx

That's exactly what I had to do in the end, she hasn't spoken to me in 3 years it's been bliss. You can't force yourself to get along/like someone it's draining and completely brings you down. X

We are in no contact with my in laws. Well I’m no contact. Husband is low contact. Had so many issues with them and their unwanted comments regarding my first child
