DP’s family

Me and DP been together 6 years, engaged with our 6mo baby

I feel awful I just need an outlet. His family really do my nut in

I can’t trust his mother with our baby I just can’t. She’s so old fashioned in her views and I know when we ask her to do something our way she’d ignore us (if she had baby alone)

DP’s brother is just weird. Constantly makes little jokes that DP constantly says are just jokes but are quite snipey and passive aggressive at me. I hate being in his presence and do anything I can to avoid it

His dad is okay he’s quite calm. His sister is quiet but I really get the vibe she dislikes me

Am I being horrible thinking all of this? My brother and sister have said they tolerate their in laws they’re not extremely close

I guess I had an idea that I’d sort of be a bit closer to DP’s family especially after having the baby, and in all honestly they don’t give a shit they don’t check in on him (baby) at all which winds me up further! But then again they do irritate me so maybe not being close isn’t too bad

There are people in all of our lives that we will simply never be close to. Your in-laws are those people. I wouldn't waste another second dwelling on it.

Be pleased that they aren't interested!

Try to stay away from them. They are unlikely to change so be thankful that you don't have too much to do with them!
