So DH is one of several brothers. DD (age 4) is the eldest of 6 cousins on that side (none on my side). The others all live at the other end of the country. To say they don't bother with us is an understatement. We go up there whenever we can (5-6 times a year on average) but nobody makes any effort to contact or visit us. That's usually not much of a problem. DH was up there the whole of last week. Not one of the sets of aunts, uncles and cousins has sent a card or gift for DD, or even text or messaged to wish her a happy xmas.
Luckily she isn't really bothered with xmas, so hadn't asked, but I think she may in future. Facebook is full of pics of the present mountains her aunts and uncles have bought for their kids. I'm swaying between gutted for DD and absolutely furious. I don't feel inclined to do anything for any of them in future. I feel like screaming.
WWYD in this situation?
