to think that DH is being Unreasonable

[salvatoresandwich]

DH doesn't want to invite his dad or sister to our LO christening. They both live 5 minutes away and do lots together. His SIS has a daughter his dad spends lots of time with takes her on hols and babysits. SIS has not seen. Our little one and dad was phoned when Lo was three weeks to ask if he was coming down to see her.
Now I know families are strange but as I no longer have my parents I wonder if DH is right by not wanting hid dad or SIS at christening.

You mean he has to stand on the doorstep and doesn't get invited in?

OlympicTorch - yes that's right.

How was your FIL over you having children from a previous relationship?

Is there an awkwardness that he hasn't got over?

Birdsgottafly - I don't know TBH, I mean he doesn't send birthday/christmas cards or presents for them but then I don't expect him to. and to be fair he didn't fetch a card when he came to see new LO. I didn't really think about him having issues with me or my other children. ?

"he doesn't send birthday/christmas cards or presents for them but then I don't expect him to"

I had only been with my bf a year when his mum started by sending boxes of chocolates, at Christmas, then the presents for my children got bigger. So tbh, he should have.

I think that you need to go with how DH feels, it is unequal and unfair how FIL treats your family.

Oh dear. See I know that families can be weird but Don't want OH to regret any decisions he makes including not inviting FIL to LO christening.

I don't think what FIL has done is anything bad enough to result in not inviting to christening. Seems to me that SIL makes the effort to be with her dad and to include him rather than its FIL doing it.

Is your DH close to his sister? Why doesn't he talk to her to see if there's anything wrong with FIL?

DH isn't close to his sister and said that he just doesn't want to talk to her. I'm going to have a chat with him when he gets in. I'm getting paranoid that it's me and he just isn't telling me......
