Name changed for this.
When they are together DH and SIL seem very close. Both parents are gone so they only have each other. We go for stay overs during Christmas etc. fabulous relationship with nieces & nephew.
We had our first baby last year and SIL kept mentioning she will come over for a visit to meet him (2 hour car drive) and never happens. We kept telling her not to stretch herself as she has 3 kids (youngest is 10) and has a demanding job, but obviously we would love to see her. Every time it's about to happen something happens - she gets a bug, she has to do x y z.
Later on we find out that she is in our city for a leisure event and she never visits us. DH doesn't react much - but I'm appalled as to me it clearly indicates she can make this happen if she pleases. There was also no cards from her to celebrate big things while DH's 3rd cousin living in Australia sent DS a card for his birthday.
We have zero support network here - my family lives abroad. There were days I cried myself to sleep out of loneliness with PND, so I'm aware this is colouring my view of the situation. AIBU to expect SIL to show a bit more interest and thoughtfulness if they are as close as they seem with DH?
