DS is 2 months old and DH has told his parents that we have registered him and given him both of our surnames (I didn't change my name after marriage). Since they found this out they haven't responded to any messages or pictures we've sent them of DS, up until this news they couldn't get enough of their grandchild.
I don't want to be a drip feeder but I also don't want to post a long, irrelevant TMI post!
If it's relevant: They are very old fashioned, and our relationship hasn't been great but always peaceful. We live overseas so most of our contact with them is via a free messaging service. This is their first grandchild. They had a bit of a bitch and a whine when we asked them not to visit for a few weeks when DS was born because I thought having ILs in the house with a new baby would be too stressful (didn't say that to them though). We have invited them for Christmas and they don't want to visit until February.
I don't want to fall out with them, I want them to have a good relationship with DS.
I know they're pissed off because this is how they behave when they're pissed off.
What can I do/say to make this better?... They are being massively unreasonable but I can't be arsed to fight, I just want a peaceful life!
Any advice?
