To be sad for dd on her birthday

[goingmadinthecountry]

Apparently I/we upset SIL a couple of weeks ago (I thought we were just discussing a local primary school and our differing views on it). She's now not talking to us. She's often not talking to people.

MIL obviously taken her side (if there is a side) and yeasterday was dd3's 7th birthday. SIL posted a card/money through the letterbox, but MIL/FIL didn't phone or call round. They live a mile away. No card, present, anything. DH is obviously not happy. Grrrr. Dh's brother and partner never send cards or phone either despite being godparents. Kind of feel dcs miss out a bit - they are definitely seen as the 2nd class grandchildren to SIL's children. Not that she didn't have a lovely day and a great party this morning - think it's dh I feel sorry for more. He finds it all a bit embarrassing I think.

Actually, feeling better for my rant.

You had every right to express your opinions on the school seeing as you have had first hand bad experience with it. Unless you said that they were f...ing twats for wanting to send a kid there then they are being ridiculous getting upset about it. PIL are even more ridiculous for taking sides about something which isn't even a real argument, it was just a conversation!

Dh and I have discussed - says he's going to send a letter to his paren ts pointing out some home truths, Great. But I won't be holding my breath. Could tell you lots of negative stuff about sil but am not that shallow ...................................
