MIL vent

Well its really a in law vent...

Last year when my daughter was born they pushed and pushed me to have her earlier because they were going to a graduation(for a person that's not even FAMILY) well when she was born the next day they left to south Dakota for the graduation. My husband had to go back work and my family lives hundreds of miles away so they couldn't come right away. So I was alone for almost a month taking care of a baby after a c section(after I had asked for help). Not fun. I'm still pretty bitter about the whole thing.

Then my husbands sister gets sick and they DROP EVERYTHING and go stay with her (she lives on the other side of the country) for a couple of months. When my husband had heart problems and had to have 2 surgeries to correct it they never once came to.visit or even call to see how he was doing. Or even ask if I needed help. So once again I'm on my own taking care of a baby while pregnant with no help (mind you his family lives 1 hour away).

So now I just had another baby last week(they still haven't been over to see if I need help or call to check up on us). Luckily my husband has a little bit more time off of work. But I'm going to get my son circumcised next week and my husband has a prior engagement that same day. Since I had a c section I cant drive to the Dr so my husband asked his mother if she could drive me. She says no that she is going out.of town next week to another graduation (once again not even family) in Florida. This is the first time she had told us.about it. My husband is pretty upset because everyone always come first before him even when they aren't even.family and I can see that it hurts him a lot.

  • Sometimes family doesn't act like family. I think he should talk to them about this. A baby is a blessing for everyone, not just mom, dad, and big sis.
  • My in laws are the same!!! Eff them all!!!

    I just wish my family meant as much as everyone else's. I know it pisses my husband off. He doesn't say much about it but when he does you know how.hurt he is. His family doesn't have much money and they have had to file for bankruptcy and we have even given them money but they can fly or drive all over the country for everyone else but when it comes to us we have to drive to their house to visit
  • I know how that goes. My husband's family is great, but they favor his brother and sister SO MUCH! Anything we ask for or need help with is a major bother, but if his brother or sister ask they will move earth and sky to give it to them. So annoying and so very frustrating.
