My dh sister lives a a fair few miles from us and her family. She got married a couple of years ago but apart from dh, none of her other siblings nor her parents were there as she doesn't speak with them.
For this reason, I understand why she has not travelled up here to see our baby. It is a long drive and we don't have a spare room for them to stay in. However, we received no card on the birth of dd a few months ago and not even a congratulations on facebook (dh texts and her sometimes but I do not have her number). Now, I don't live my life on facebook but was so amazed by the fantastic little life I'd created I wanted everyone to see! So posted a photo of dd when she was a few days old. But I had no message to say congratulations, even though she does sometimes put up holiday pictures etc and annoyingly, I've noticed, occassionally remarks on photos of children she knows. So she has the means of communicating with me if she wants to.
Aibu to just expect something from her? I haven't mentioned it to my dh as I don't want him to know its upset me, although I probably should, not to stir anything up but I just wonder what I've done for this great, happy news to be ignored?
