My DS is a month old and DSis has not yet visited . She has 2 DD 34 months and 11 months. She lives 2 hours drive from me. She always attacks me and DH for not spending more time with my family. She views herself as a childrearing expert so I'm surprised she has not visited. The truth is that my family are difficult, especially en masse and argue a lot , DH finds them stressful. My DM suggested that I again invite my sister to visit so I phoned her to invite her offering 10 days in next 2 weeks bringing the girls. She wants to come and stay overnight midweek with her 2 girls as she feels 2 x 2 hours in the car is unreasonable for her DD. I would find a daytime visit an easier proposition so I asked her to think about it. AIBU not to want them all to stay overnight?

oh well, if she really wanted to see ds she wouldn't be too busy at the weekends. it all seems to revolve around her. I suspect that she is always going to have the worse dc and can not possibly fit herself around you.

you can not drive at the moment so there is no question of you travelling to her.

if people go on about it for the next 30 years let them,. have a broken record response. she was invited but chose not to come.
