My OH called in laws to tell them we r having a baby while I’m with him. They congratulate him and then they put the phone down.

AIBU to think that they are being rude by not even asking to speak to me ?

Perhaps they didnt realise that you were there with him

Non issue personally. Your child is not that exciting to everyone else.

YABVU and my sympathies to your In laws if This is the crap you get upset over!

Seriously they congratulated their son presumably in the thought that extended to you. Why do they need to speak to you? Will you be telling them something new?

We in laws on phone and they were delighted but didn’t ask to speak to me. I didn’t even think about it. We have a great relationship and they (claim to!) adore me so I think you’re reading too much into it...

Unless there is a massive back story where they're rude to you all the time I think you're being over-sensitive.

YABU. Your DH gave them the news, they said congratulations and were presumably pleased, the conversation ended. You do realise that 'congratulations' means to both of you, right?!

If you thought it was important that they spoke to both of you personally, you shouldn't have used the phone to tell them.
