I've just been for lunch with my in laws. It was our Christmas visit.
My mother died 2 weeks ago, the funeral is at the of the week.
Neither my MIL or FIL mentioned my mum once throughout the day. I don't expect them to be upset but a simple " I'm so sorry Bombay" would've been appreciated.
We generally have a good relationship, I don't like them but I polite and friendly whenever I see the.
Would I be unreasonable to never speak to them again?

Absolutely ridiculous that they didn't mention it. I understand it's awkward to talk about but that's no excuse for not at least saying "I'm so sorry for your loss" etc.

So sorry OP. What a shit thing to happen.

I am so shocked at this.. a very simple 'I'm sorry - I hope you are ok' would be respectful

I don't think I could speak to them for a long time op. Like how is any other topic more important in the week that it is in for you ❤

Truly awful that they didn’t say anything!

Shock

I would have to cut contact after explaining why I felt so upset.

Or they deal with it differently that doesn't fit the current need to discuss the minutiae of one's life.

Saying "sorry for your loss" is "discussing the minutiae of one's life"???

Don't be stupid.
