to expect MiL to take an interest in my dd?

This is a sore one for me. DD is 19mths, and we tried for a long time for a baby and understandably, we're delighted. MiL picks SiL's kids up every day after school and takes them to clubs etc to give SiL a break. Well there are four of them,and they do stuff at weekends. Now I know daughters are drawn to their own mothers, as I am to mine, but this woman hasn't seen dd since the 4th January. Dh phoned her two weeks ago to tell her we had decided to buy a car and she implied that she'll now get to see dd more. SiL lives further away from MiL than we do and she has a car, but MiL expected us to take dd out in wind rain etc when she practically passes our door every day. If the weather is nice we would phone and say," oh it's a lovely day, we were going to walk round and visit" and she would make excuses like going to pick ...'s kids up. Wehave tried very hard with her and I admit there is a bit of bad blood between me and MiL and DH and his mother. But we have never put barriers up or stopped her from seeing dd, at our house or visiting hers. It's her birthday soon and we will go round for that and she acts like nothing is wrong. AIBU?

YANBU
I think she should really pay as much attention to your dd as she does sil kids.
