There are tensions between me and my in laws. There has been no falling out or anything. However, there appears to be mutual antipathy. I feel that over the years they have been quite dismissive/unkind to me. There are several instances I can think of, but it is more just their general attitude towards me.
I've been fairly philosophical about this, but my husband told me today how difficult he finds it. He says they feel I don't like them. This is true, but I feel like this because of how I think they have been with me.
I think I have been quite selfish and not given enough thought to how difficult this must be for my DH. I need to find a way to try to move this situation forward. But I just go d it so difficult to be anything more than polite with them.
In the interests of not drop feeding, we have a 3 year old and a new baby (9 weeks). Things are not going well. The baby is not sleeping well. We are exhausted and I think I might have mild post natal depression.
