I live in Aberdeen with my son and husband. I am from Australia so i have no close friends or family here. I have been living here for 3 years. My husband works offshore on rotation so i am alone a lot of the time. I dont expect anything from my husbands family ( both dad and mum live in aberdeen) but would sometimes like some consideration.
My sister in law lives in Glasgow and has my MIL drive down every week to look after her kids 2 days a week which means we don't really see MIL a lot, which is fine. Its her decision. But i sometimes get really hurt that they never think to include me in things knowing i am alone. Prime example , i found out that my SIL has organised a brunch for mothers day tomorrow with my MIL, her MIL, her SIL ( who i get along with really well) and her SIL's mother in law. AIBU to be upset to have not been invited? Not even a "I know you are by yourself with LO, you are more than welcome to join us"? This happens a lot, even on Xmas when my husband is away. Luckily OH dad and step mum always invite me for xmas at theirs otherwise i would be alone.
