Me and partner have not really spoken to his brother and brothers wife for the past 2 years. Nothing serious happened they just shared some strong opinions on our way of living, spending and since then they have made it very clear they want not much to do with us, after me being the peace maker I reached out numerous times to put this behind us and move on, with no response either time.
I now don’t really want my son who is only 2 to be around them especially when I’m not there. They have since made rumours up about me, not turned up to my sons birthday party, and just made no effort. They have 3 children, which is the saddest part about it. Before this we used to take them all on days out, spoil them and have such fun however since then this has stopped.
my son sees my MIL (brothers mum) quite often and she has mentioned about taking him over to their house or out with them. I have made excuses every time but feel it’s time to say how I actually feel. I don’t think not wanting your child around somebody who doesn’t like you very hard to believe. My MIL is trying to be the peacemaker I get that, but I’ve tried this for the past 2 years with no success. Am I wrong for not wanting this. Baring in mind I have never once said I don’t want to amend things and build back the relationship, this is there doing not mine.
