Ur not alone ❤️ but I only really communicate or talk to her because of my son and partner. I just try my best to ignore it but it definitely hurts to feel like I’m not important or she could care less about having a relationship with me. If she blocked me on everything I definitely would say something to my partner to see what happened if they don’t address the situation, for me I don’t think I would talk to her anymore because honestly like you said seems like she could care less about your baby like even about talking to you in regards to your child so I wouldn’t go out of my way anymore to talk to her anymore if she doesn’t have a valid reason but I’m not sure what could warrant that

yeah we definitely don’t talk to her unless about my son but even now I feel she cross way to many my husband said he doesn’t care to talk to his mom and I just don’t know I never did anything to her

I understand. you may be Coming from a place of wanting things to be cordial however the reality is at this moment that isn’t possible. Give yourself grace and know it has nothing to do with you and it is not your responsibility to make grown people see why fostering relationships is important especially when children are involved. It seems as if your husbands family dynamics is toxic anyhow and that isn’t something you would want to expose your baby to. If your husband isn’t worried about it I don’t think you should either. You have already poured enough energy into your MIL than needs to. Begin to put into and nurture the family you guys have established… it will help in drowning out the noise of those who are choosing to be messy and negative. Create a village of your own and let your husband sort out his family dynamics bc in the end it’s his family

Hello! I am going through the same thing currently. I always wanted that mil and dil relationship even though I love and adore my own mother I always wanted all of us to be buddy buddy. But obviously that’s not the case and I have let that reality go it was hard but I had too for my sanity. She has other grandchildren that she tends too without and issue but when it comes to our kids there’s always an excuse or an emergency. We have 3 children now and this has been going on since my oldest was born. He will be 6 in October. We have never lived no more than 5-10 min from her. We always bring them to her but she never wanted to come visit or even pick them up like she does the other grandkids. I was furious at first but my mother and other family members love on my children that they don’t even notice let alone ask for her. I had a baby last year she didn’t even wanna come to the hospital because she had things to do. Needless to say my husband is disappointed.

But I let him handle everything when it comes to her. We are cordial for the sake of the kids. We don’t communicate unless we are in each other faces which is very rare. I have a strong gut feeling she doesn’t like me but I haven’t done anything for us to get to this point. We used to be cool before the marriage and kids. But I say all this to say don’t worry about her honestly. Don’t force anything if she really wants a relationship with you it will all work out on its own. I had to learn that myself. Sometimes it’s not us, it’s something going on with inside them.

totally agree unless his for the kids but she mad disrespectful to my family I’m not going have negative in his life my husband barely talks to her and he hates own mom so I try be nice but u just can’t if it’s toxic

Exactly. So don’t stress yourself out especially if he’s not. Just be there for him when he needs to talk about his relationship with his mom. Try not to pass too much judgment. Be more so of a listening ear if anything! Hope it all works out for you 🤎🤎🤎

Girl I could write a book. Lol however my and my husband just celebrated 6 years of marriage. To sum it up my son will be 3 and ages never been to a birthday party let alone invited. I will never allow anyone yo disrespect me see my child. Idgaf who you're.

she’s definitely jealous of you then lmfao your doing everything she couldn’t do for him it’s sick that MIL get like that but she may come around later in life but for now I would keep my distance as well 🙏🏽

definitely agreed

that’s basically me too I’m not allowing them to be around nothing but drama at the office day
